Titan/cPCI
Applications
Titan/cPCI adapters provide two or four asynchronous RS-232 and/or RS-485/422
serial ports for data collection devices, barcode readers, time clocks, scales and other
industrial automation and data communication equipment. Titan/cPCI is an ideal
industrial strength solution for process control/industrial automation and data
short or long distances using cPCI bus compatible computers.
communication applications requiring single node or multi-drop communications over
Features
- Two or four asynchronous RS-232, and/or RS-485/422 serial ports - each port's
electrical interface is jumper selectable.
- 16C950 quad UARTs with 128 bytes of TxD/RxD FIFO buffers control each port.
- Offers three RS-485/422 modes:
Full Duplex
Half Duplex
Multi-drop Slave
- Each RS-485/422 transmitter and receiver has jumper selectable 150 Ohm
termination and bias resistors.
- Independent port configuration with baud rates from 50 bps to 1.8342 Mbps (RS-485/422) or from 50 bps
to 230.4 Kbps (RS-232); data bits of 5, 6, 7 or 8; stop bits of 1, 1.5, or 2, and odd, even, or stick
parity.
- Male DB-9 connectors or male DB-25 connectors (4 port model only) - custom cabling options are available.
- Rear I/O options are available.
- Multi-strike surge protection; IEC1000-4 compatible on all signals, all ports.
- Optional 2.5K VAC peak to peak optical isolation available (rear I/O only).
- Includes SeePORT, a full-featured software data analyzer for Windows 95/98.
- Easy installation comes with comprehensive manual, cable (four port models) and driver software.
Benefits
High Speed, High Performance Communications
Achieve rapid data transfer rates up to 1.8342 Mbps. Titan/cPCI adapters use state of
the art 16C950 quad UARTS with 128 bytes of transmit and receive FIFO buffers to
offload interrupt handling and buffering from the main CPU, thus improving overall
system performance. The 32-bit, 33Mhz PCI bus interface offers high bandwidth for
your data communications.
Hardware Flexibility
Titan/cPCI offers hardware flexibility and adaptability for your application. You can
configure each port's electrical interface, baud rate, parity, data and stop bits
independently and various connector options are offered to suit your needs. Titan/cPCI
supports three RS-485/422 modes: Full Duplex; Half Duplex and Multi-drop Slave.
Hardware Reliability
Titan/cPCI adapters provide IEC1000-4 compatible multi-strike surge suppression on
all signals, all ports. Optical isolation up to 2.5K VAC peak to peak on each port is
also available as an option. This makes the Titan/cPCI an excellent choice for mission
critical applications that require highly reliable and rugged serial communications.
Protection against electrical disturbances, spikes and surges means fewer failures, less
downtime.
Software Compatibility
Titan/cPCI adapters offer compatibility with existing standard serial drivers for many of
the most popular operating systems such as: QNX, Windows 95/98/Me/CE and
Windows NT/2000. This provides you with more software flexibility for your
communication needs.
Easy to Use
Titan/cPCI adapters come ready for simple installation with no DIP switches to set.
Included are board, driver software and a comprehensive manual.
