Serial/Parallel Adapters

Advantech USB converters add one RS-232 port to your PC's USB port with 12 Mbps full speed USB 2.0. Models with 2 kV optical isolation protect from voltage spikes and ground loops. "High retention USB port" option is 50% stronger than regular USB ports gripping standard USB cables in demanding applications. "Locked Serial Number" options use the same serial number with like models so, if a converter is shared by field service laptops, the locked serial number lets you plug-&-play without matching.

Model BB-DGB9FT provides a convenient way to perform field termination of any DB9 cable. Separate connection points are provided for all nine positions of the connector plus ground. Terminal block design with set screws provides reliable electrical connections. The terminal block area is clearly marked making proper termination virtually fool-proof.

These RS-232/422/485 PCI communication cards are compatible with the PCI 2.2 bus specification for universal connectivity and low-profile PCI cards. The PCI-1604UP provides two independent RS-232 ports, while the PCI-1602UP has two RS-422/485 ports. To improve system performance, all cards allow transmission rates up to 921.6 kbps. To increase reliability, the cards offer EFT protection, protecting your system from abrupt high voltages up to 2,500 VDC. High-performance OXuPC1952 and OXuPC1954 UARTs with 128-byte FIFO, reduces the CPU load, making the cards especially suitable for multitasking environments.
The cards follow the Low Profile PCI MD1 standard. This standard has the same protocol and electronic definition as standard PCI, but the low-profile PCI standard is smaller. Thus, the cards are suitable for embedded systems, and size-constrained environments. Moreover, all cards are equipped with an universal PCI connector, which allows support for traditional systems with 5 V signaling or newer systems with 3.3 V signaling.
