The mPCIe-ICM485 Series is especially useful in applications where high common-mode external voltages are present. Isolation is required to guard electronics from transient voltage spikes and offers greater common-mode noise rejection in surroundings containing industrial machinery and inductive loads. These applications include factory automation, energy management, industrial ON/OFF control, security systems, manufacturing test, and process monitoring. Careful attention has been paid to isolation design, including extensive keep-out zones and hand-routed circuit paths, as well as component and material selection. The mPCIe-ICM485 Series can be used in the following markets.
● Health and Medical Systems
● Point of Sale (POS)
● Automated Retail Kiosks
● Embedded Systems
● Traffic Systems
● Factory Automation and Process Control
● Retail
● Hospitality
● Gaming
Available accessories include 4 or 2-port DB-9 cable kits and screw terminal boards for quick and easy connectivity. The ADAP9 accessory provides a screw terminal connection to break out the RS422 signals on the DB9M connector. I/O is accessed via Hirose DF57 5-pin latching connectors on the card.
A complete driver support package is provided including an easy-to-use Windows terminal program for testing your COM ports. This simplifies the verification of proper COM port operation. The card installs as standard COM ports in all operating systems including DOS, Linux (including Mac OS X) and 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. Additional drivers may be available for a wide variety of operating systems including Windows CE, WES7+, vxWorks, and more. Please contact the factory for compatibility with your specific OS.
