Optical Isolated and Surge Protected Industrial PCIe Card to RS422/485

PCI Express 8-port industrial serial I/O card is a plug & play high-speed serial I/O expansion card for the PCI Express bus. Connecting to a PCI Express bus on your computer, the PCI Express 8-port industrial serial I/O card instantly adds eight RS-422/485 serial I/O communication ports to your system.

The PCI Express to 8-port industrial serial I/O card provides optical isolation and 3000 Volt DC optical isolation and are designed to support high-speed serial port data rate up to 921.6K bps. Each serial port is fully compatible with 16C550 UART, with enhanced feature of 256 bytes TX and RX FIFO buffer for higher performance.
