Product Description
The Advantech PCI-1612A-BE is a versatile serial communication card designed to expand the serial port capabilities of industrial computers. Featuring four independently configurable RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 ports, this card provides robust connectivity for a wide array of serial devices commonly found in industrial automation, data acquisition, and control systems. Each of the four ports can operate at high speeds, supporting data rates up to 921.6 kbps, ensuring efficient data transfer. The card's flexibility in supporting multiple serial standards (RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485) makes it suitable for diverse applications, from connecting simple serial peripherals to establishing complex multi-drop networks. The inclusion of automatic RS-485 direction control simplifies the management of data flow in RS-485 environments. Equipped with a standard PCI bus interface, the PCI-1612A-BE is compatible with a broad range of industrial PCs. It typically utilizes a DB37 connector, requiring a breakout cable to provide individual connectors (e.g., DB9) for each serial port. Its rugged design and support for wide operating temperatures make it ideal for demanding industrial settings.
