Data Acquisition Products \ Addi-Data PCI and ISA Data Communication Boards \ APCI-7300-3 - 1-port serial interface

Product details

Universal board with application facilities 3.3 and in 5 V PCI-systems.

Free operating mode configuration with the module concept that Omni Instruments has developed especially for serial interface boards. For instance, one free module slot is on the base board of the APCI-7300-3, which can be assembled according to your requirements. Hereto modules according to RS232-, RS422-, RS485-standard or 20 mA current loop (TTY) are available so that the hardware can be adapted according to the respective requirements. 

More speed with baud rates up to 1 Mbaud (on request). The communication port supports the standard Windows baud rates. Additionally, the serial port has an bidirectional 128-byte FIFO-memory in order to guarantee reliable working results also at high data transfer without data loss. 

Industrial communication with the connection to the peripheral with an industry standard 9-pin SUB-D-connector. High noise immunity is reached with an optional optical isolation of the module.  EMC-protection like ESD-, burst - and - in the RS485 mode - short circuit protection, are also implemented on the module. Furthermore, the module is protected against fast transients and electrostatic discharge. To guarantee a safe mounting in harsh industrial environments, the module is screwed to the base board.

Fast and easy installation.with the supplied software with a lot of function tests and programming samples for C,

• A 32-bit program for Windows XP/2000 detects automatically, which module is installed in which slot and indicates the occuppied resources.
• PCI-bus for the universal application in 3.3 V/5 V-systems
• RS232, RS422, RS485, 20 mA current loop (active, passive) with or without optical isolation
• Modular structure with MX-modules
• Port (MX-module) with or without optical isolation
• Free mode configuration
