Moxa CP-118U-T interface cards/adapter

The CP-118U-I and CP-138U-I are smart. 8-port serial boards designed for long distance. multi-point. PC-based data acquisition applications. Industrial automation system integrators will be eager to use these boards for many of their industrial automation projects.On-chip ADDC® for precision RS-485 communicationRS-485 communication requires precise timing control to enable and disable the line driver. and the Moxa Turbo Serial Engine™ chip that powers the CP-118U-I and CP-138U-I boards come with on-chip ADDC® (automatic data direction control) to make RS-485 as easy to use as RS-232.RS-485 multidrop for up to 31 devices within 1.2 kmThe CP-118U-I's 8 RS-232/422/485 ports and the CP-138U-I's 8RS-422/485 ports can achieve data rates up to 921.6 Kbps. and in RS-485 mode. one serial port can connect up to 31 daisy-chained RS-485 devices within a range of 1.2 km. In addition. the 2 KV optical isolation protection on the CP-118U-I and CP-138U-I boards helps prevent equipment damage for long distance RS-485 communication.Top Serial PerformanceMoxa's 20-plus 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. Thanks to the Turbo Serial Engine™. Moxa is able to offer the world's best performing smart serial boards.Drivers Provided for Windows.
