Moxa Technologies CP-134U Quick Installation Manual

CP-134U Smart Serial Board
Quick Installation Guide
Fifth Edition, June 2008
1. Overview
Moxa's CP-134U Series of Smart Multiport Serial Boards provides
Industrial Automation system integrators with long transmission
distance, multi-point, PC-based data acquisition solutions. Powered by
Moxa's Turbo Serial Engine™ chip that comes with on-chip ADDC™
(Automatic Data Direction Control), sending RS-485 packets is as easy
as using RS-232. The on-chip ADDC™ feature delivers precise timing
control for enabling and disabling the line drivers used for 2-wire
RS-485 communication.
When configured for RS-422/485, each of CP-134U's 4 serial ports can
transmit at up to 921.6 Kbps, and each RS-485 port can support up to
31 daisy-chained serial devices in a 1.2 km multi-drop environment. To
help prevent equipment damage when using long distance RS-485
communication, choose CP-134U-I, which provides isolation
protection against voltage mismatches of up to 2 KV.
CP-134U is a MOXA Green Product. Moxa's Green Products satisfy
the RoHS directive of the European Parliament, and accordingly, do
not contain cadmium and cadmium compounds, hexavalent chromium
compounds, lead and lead compounds, mercury and mercury
compounds, PBBs (polybrominated biphenyls), or PBDEs
(polybrominated diphenyl ethers).
