Overview
Details
The CP-132UL and CP-132UL-I 2-port universal PCI boards are designed for industrial automation applications that require a long distance, multi-point, PC-based data acquisition solution.
On-chip Automatic Data Direction Control for precision RS-485 communication
RS-485 communication requires precise timing control to enable and disable the line driver. The Moxa Turbo Serial Engineô chip that powers the CP-132UL/UL-I boards comes with on-chip ADDC®, which makes RS-485 as easy to use as RS-232.
RS-485 multidrop for up to 31 devices within 1.2 km
The CP-132UL/UL-I universal PCI boards have 2 RS-422/485 serial ports, each of which can achieve data rates up to 921.6 Kbps. In RS-485 mode, the board can connect up to 31 daisy-chained RS-485 devices within a range of 1.2 km. For long distance RS-485 communication, choose the CP-132UL-I model, which comes with 2 KV optical isolation protection to prevent equipment damage.
Top Serial Performance
Moxaís 20-plus years of experience in serial board design is now concentrated in a new high performance serial data transmission chip. The Turbo Serial Engineô 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 Engineô, Moxa is able to offer the worldís best performing smart serial boards.
Drivers Provided for Windows, Linux, and Unix
Moxa continues to support a wide variety of operating systems, and the CP-132UL/UL-I boards are no exception. Reliable Windows COM and Linux/Unix TTY drivers are provided for all Moxa boards, and other operating systems, such as WEPOS, are also supported for embedded integration.
