Introduction
PCI-1620 is an 8-port RS-232 PCI communication card that is compatible with the PCI 2.1 bus specification. The card provides eight optional EFT protected RS-232 ports, and has
many functions such as high transmission speed of 921.6 kbps, eight independent RS-232 ports and also comes with high-performance 16PCI954 UARTs with 128-byte FIFO and a
16C954 UART to reduce CPU load. Thus, the PCI-1620 is especially suitable for making your system reliable in multitasking environments. PCI-1620AU and PCI-1620BU have an
universal PCI connector that is compatible with both 3.3 V signaling and 5 V signaling. This means that PCI-1610AU and PCI-1620BU can not only be used in traditional systems
with 5 V signaling but also newer systems with 3.3 V signaling.
To further increase reliability, PCI-1620B and PCI-1620BU offer EFT protection technology, protecting your system from abrupt high voltages of up to 3,000 V
DC
. Advantech also
provides a convenient utility program called ICOM Tools, to help you test the PCI card’s performance by analyzing the port status. ICOM Tools is easy to use with its menu commands
and toolbar buttons, and acts as a PC-based data scope that lets you set a trigger condition, capture the communications data and monitor the signal status. ICOM Tools is applicable
to all series of Advantech ICOM cards.
