Overview

The CP-114UL is a smart, 4-port serial board designed for long distance, multi-point, PC-based data acquisition applications. Industrial automation system integrators will be eager to use this board for many of their industrial automation projects.

RS-485 communication requires precise timing control to enable and disable the line driver, and the Moxa Turbo Serial Engine™ chip that powers the CP-114UL card comes with on-chip ADDC® (automatic data direction control) to make RS-485 as easy to use as RS-232.

The CP-114UL Universal PCI board has 4 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, each of which can achieve data rates up to 921.6 Kbps. In RS-485 mode, the serial port can connect up to 31 daisy-chained RS-485 devices within a range of 1.2 km.

Top Serial Performance

Moxa's 20-plus years of experience in serial board design is now concentrated in a new high performance serial data transmission chip. The Turbo Serial Engine™ chip provides serial boards with a 128-byte FIFO, on-chip hardware and software flow control, and burst data mode. Thanks to the Turbo Serial Engine™, Moxa is able to offer the world’s best performing smart serial boards.

Drivers provided for Windows, Linux, and Unix

One of Moxa's highest priorities is to provide drivers for all mainstream operating systems. Reliable, well-tested Windows COM and Linux/Unix TTY drivers are available for use with the CP-114UL. Other operating systems, such as Windows XP embedded and WEPOS, are also supported to accommodate embedded integration applications.
