Each RS-232 port supports data communication rates up to 921.6kbyte/s. The RS-422 and RS-485 modes support data communication speeds upto 3Mbit/s. Designed using type 16C950 UARTS, the cards use 128byte transmit and receive first in first out buffers to decrease CPU loading. The cards comply with PCI 16550 type UART applications and are suitable for factory automation, military and mission-critical, industrial on and off control, security systems, manufacturing test, and process monitoring applications.
