The CP-132UL-I is a 2-port Universal PCI board designed for industrial automation applications that require a long distance, multi-point, PC-based data acquisition solution.
RS-485 communication requires precise timing control to enable and disable the line driver. Moxa’s Turbo Serial Engine chip that powers the CP-132UL-I board comes with on-chip ADDC, which makes RS-485 as easy to use as RS-232.
The CP-132UL-I Universal PCI board has 2x RS-422/485 serial ports, both of which can achieve data rates up to 921.6kbps. In RS-485 mode, the boards can connect up to 31x daisy-chained RS-485 devices within a range of 1.2km. For long distance RS-485 communication, the CP-132UL-I comes with 2kV electrical isolation protection to prevent equipment damage.
With 20-plus years of experience in serial board design, Moxa is now concentrating on a new high performance serial data transmission chip. The Turbo Serial Engine chip provides serial boards with a 128-byte FIFO, on-chip software flow control, and burst data mode. Thanks to the Turbo Serial Engine, Moxa is able to offer the world’s best performing smart serial boards.
Moxa continues to support a wide variety of operating systems, and the CP-132UL-I board is 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.
