Proven and reliable, RS-232 stays a popular point-to-point low power communication interface.
The SU2-BALLAD is a peripheral slot card for CompactPCI® Serial systems, equipped with four front panel RS-232 ports. Isolation barrier transceivers are provided for optimum noise and EMC immunity up to 460kbps data rate, as required for industrial use and operation in harsh environments.
The SU2-BALLAD is based on an octal PCI Express® to UART bridge. The 950-style UARTs are compatible with all typical asynchronous serial applications and protocols. While four RS-232 ports are available via Micro-D front panel connectors across isolated transceivers conforming to TIA/EIA-232-E specifications, another four UART channels are wired to the CompactPCI® backplane connector P4, for rear I/O usage by means of a suitable RIO module.
Features
- PICMG® CompactPCI® Serial standard (CPCI-S.0)
- Single size Eurocard 3U 4HP 100x160mm2
- Suitable for CompactPCI® Serial peripheral slot (PCI Express® enabled)
- CompactPCI® Serial backplane connector P1 for PCI Express®, single lane link
- Option CompactPCI® Serial backplane connector P4 for rear I/O
For UART and RS-232 specifications please refer to the datasheet
