PCI Express 4-Port Industrial Serial I/O Cards

 

 
The PCIe-400i and PCIe-400i-SI PCI Express 4-port industrial serial I/O cards are plug & play 
high-speed serial I/O expansion cards for the PCI Express bus. Connecting to a PCI Express 
bus on your computer, the PCI Express 4-port industrial serial I/O card instantly adds four 
RS-422/485 serial I/O communication ports to your system. The PCI Express 4-port industrial 
serial I/O cards are designed to utilize the Exar XR17V354 PCI Express to UART chip. The 
PCIe-400i & PCIe-400i-SI support high-speed data rate up to 921.6 Kbps. Each serial port is 
fully compatible with 16C550 UART, with enhanced feature of 256 bytes TX and RX FIFO 
buffer for higher performance. 
 
The PCI Express 4-port serial I/O card is an advanced and high efficient solution for serial 
data communication and industrial automation applications.
