2 Port RS-422/485 Industrial Communication Board for ISA


 

 
Specifications | Ordering info | PDF Datasheet Download


 

Overview
  The Industio CI-132 series is designed for RS-422/485 industrial communication. It supports two independent
RS-422 or RS-485 ports, with each port able to control up to 64 devices in a multidrop environment.

ADDC (Automatic Data Direction Control) intelligence is built into each CI-132 board to eliminate the need for software interference. Hence, applications can easily manage the half-duplex RS-485 port data transmitting and receiving without the need for extra code. In addition, on-chip hardware flow control, built-in termination resistors, and optical isolation and surge protection options are able to deliver high reliability for harsh industrial applications.


 

Features
 
  • Available with optical isolation or surge protection as options
  • Supports ADDC (Automatic Data Direction Control) intelligence
  • RS-485 data control: ADDC or by RTS
  • Built-in termination resistors
  • On-chip hardware flow control
  • Low repair rate with ASIC design
  • Works perfectly with all major operating systems


 

Benefits
 
  • High reliability in harsh industrial environments
  • ADDC intelligence simplifies RS-485 software programming, reducing developing time and cost


 

Applications
 
  • Multipoint data acquisition
  • Industrial control
  • Factory automation
  • Embedded industrial machines
  • Remote serial device control
  • SCADA systems
