Introduction
Overview
Industio
- The Industrial Multiport Async Solution
The term
Industio
stands for smart multiport serial I/O solution for industrial
applications. The
Industio
CI-132 Series boards
,
including CI-132, CI-132I and
CI-132IS
, are designed for 16-bit ISA/EISA bus. They offer 2 independent RS-
422/RS-485 serial ports for connecting data acquisition equipment and many other
serial devices to the PC and its compatible systems. It offers reliable communication
link over a longer distance (4000ft). It is best suitable for industrial environment.
Connections with
point-to-point
full-duplex
or
multidrop
half-duplex
are available
to meet user’s needs.
Automatic Data Direction Control for RS-485
With a well-designed and fine-tuned device driver, the
Industio
CI-132 boards make
full use of the 32 byte Tx/Rx FIFO and on-chip H/W flow control, so that they can
transfer data without loss even at high speed such as 921.6 Kbps. They offer a reliable
and high performance solution for serial multiport communications.
Termination Resistors Ready for RS-422/RS-485
Termination Resistors are already installed on the
Industio
CI-132 boards and no
more headaches for finding proper resistors and connecting them for impedance
matching problem. More details are in chapter, “Connection Cable and Cable
Wiring”.
