MOXA – CP-132UL-DB9M – Serial universal PCI card with 2 RS-422485 ports and low height

Moxa 2 Port UPCI RS422/485 Serial Card with DB9M Cable (Includes Low and Full Profile Brackets)

Description
The CP-132UL and CP-132UL-I 2-port universal PCI cards are designed for industrial automation applications that require a PC-based data acquisition solution for long distances and multiple points.

On-Chip Automatic Data Direction Control for precise RS-485 communication
RS-485 communication requires precise timing to enable and disable the line driver. The Moxa Turbo Serial Engine™ chip that powers the CP-132UL/UL-I cards features on-chip ADDC®, making RS-485 communication as easy as RS-232 communication.

RS-485 multidrop for up to 31 devices within 1.2 km
The CP-132UL/UL-I universal PCI cards feature 2 RS-422/485 serial ports, each of which can achieve data rates of up to 921.6 Kbps. In RS-485 mode, the card can connect up to 31 RS-485 devices within a range of 1.2 km. For long-distance RS-485 communication, choose the CP-132UL-I model, which is equipped with 2 KV optical isolation to prevent device damage.

Serial peak performance
Moxa’s more than 20 years of experience in serial board design is now concentrated in a new high-performance serial data transmission chip. The Turbo Serial Engine™ chip provides serial boards with a 128-byte FIFO, on-chip hardware and software flow control, and burst data mode. The Turbo Serial Engine™ enables Moxa to offer the world’s highest performing intelligent serial cards.

Drivers for Windows, Linux and Unix
Moxa continues to support a wide range of operating systems, and the CP-132UL/UL-I cards are no exception. Reliable Windows COM and Linux/Unix TTY drivers are available for all Moxa cards, and other operating systems such as WEPOS are also supported for integration.
