UPCI 8*RS422/485 professional Card
  • Manufacturer Sunix
  • Category: Professional Serial
  • The SUNIX IPC‑P2008 is an industrial‑grade, Universal PCI 8‑port RS‑422/485 serial communication card designed for high‑performance, multi‑port serial connectivity in automation, control, and data acquisition systems. It belongs to the SUNIX Universal PCI series, which supports both 32‑bit and 64‑bit PCI/PCI‑X buses at 3.3 V or 5 V signaling levels. The card provides eight independent RS‑422/485 ports with automatic mode detection, advanced hardware direction control, and robust electrical protection, making it suitable for demanding industrial and embedded applications.
- Eight Independent Serial Ports: Provides 8 fully independent RS‑422/485 communication channels for simultaneous multi‑device connectivity.
- Universal PCI Interface: Compliant with PCI Ver. 3.0/2.3/2.2 standards; supports both 32‑bit and 64‑bit PCI and PCI‑X buses at 33 MHz or 66 MHz.
- High‑Speed Communication: Supports baud rates from 75 bps up to 921.6 Kbps per port, ensuring reliable high‑speed data transfer.
- 64‑Byte Hardware FIFO: Each port includes a 64‑byte hardware FIFO buffer, 16C750‑compatible, for efficient data handling and reduced CPU load.
- Auto RS‑422/485 Detection and Switching: SUNIX proprietary technology automatically detects and switches between RS‑422 full‑duplex and RS‑485 half‑duplex modes without jumper or DIP switch configuration.
- AHDC/CS™ Technology: SUNIX Auto Hardware Direction Control/Carrier Sense automatically manages RS‑485 signal direction, ensuring precise timing and collision avoidance on 2‑wire buses.
- Embedded 15 kV ESD Protection: Integrated electrostatic discharge protection on all signal lines safeguards connected devices and ensures long‑term reliability.
- Unlimited Card Scalability: Multiple IPC‑P2008 cards can be installed in a single system, limited only by available PCI slots.
- Software Flow Control: Supports XON/XOFF software flow control for flexible communication management.
- Wide OS Compatibility: Drivers available for Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista (32‑/64‑bit), Linux 2.4/2.6, SCO OpenServer 5.06/5.07, and DOS.
- Industrial‑Grade Reliability: Designed for continuous operation in industrial environments with operating temperature range 0 °C – 70 °C and humidity tolerance up to 95 % RH.
- Compact Form Factor: Standard PCI card dimensions (63.5 × 120 mm) suitable for standard and low‑profile brackets.
- Long‑Term Warranty: Backed by a 5‑year manufacturer warranty.
