This PCI 2-port RS422/485 Serial Adapter Card is an universal converter of PCI to RS485/RS422. It has no need for additional power supply and its compatible with PCI, RS422, RS485 standards. It can convert PCI signals to a balanced differential RS422 or RS485 signals. Each line has surge protection, and various surge voltage protections. The tiny capacitance distance guarantees RS422 / RS485 interface of high-speed transmission. RS422/RS485 is connected by RJ45 and DB9 interface. The converter has zero delay automatic transceiver inside and unique I/O circuit automatically control data flow direction, without any handshake signals (such as RTS, DTR, etc.) and jumpers set realize full-duplex, half-duplex mode conversion, plug and play. The adapter card is compatible for all existing communication software and hardware interface.

Function

PCI TO RS422/RS485 convertor supports four communication modes:

1. Point-to-point / 4-line full-duplex
2. Point-to-multi point / 4-line full-duplex
3. Point-to-point / 2-line half-duplex
4. Point-to-multi point / 2-line half-duplex

Hardware Installation

Please read the Installation Manual carefully before the installation of the PCI 2-port RS422/485 Serial Adapter Card. This product uses USB / DB-9 general connectors for input/output interface without jumpers. It automatically identify RS422 or RS485 communication mode. It supports twisted-pair cable or shielding wire connection, very convenient to disassemble. Point-to-point, point to more, full-duplex communication that connect four wire T/R +, T/R - and RXD +, RXD -, point-to-point, point to more, half-duplex communication that connect two lines T/R +, T/R -.
