Moxa CP-132UL-I-DB9M interface cards/adapter

2-port RS-422/485 low profile Universal PCI serial board with optical isolation The CP-132UL and CP-132UL-I are 2-port Universal PCI boards designed for industrial automation applications that require a long distance, multi-point, PC-based data acquisition solution.

On-chip Automatic Data Direction Control for precision RS-485 communication
RS-485 communication requires precise timing control to enable and disable the line driver. The Moxa Turbo Serial Engine™ chip that powers the CP-132UL/UL-I boards comes with on-chip ADDC®, which makes RS-485 as easy to use as RS-232.

RS-485 multidrop for up to 31 devices within 1.2 km
The CP-132UL/UL-I Universal PCI boards have 2 RS-422/485 serial ports, each of which can achieve data rates up to 921.6 Kbps. In RS-485 mode, the boards can connect up to 31 daisy-chained RS-485 devices within a range of 1.2 km. For long distance RS-485 communication, choose the CP-132UL-I model, which comes with 2 KV optical isolation protection to prevent equipment damage.
