The Industio CI-132
series is designed for RS-422/485 industrial communication. It supports
two independent
RS-422 or RS-485 ports, with each port able to control up to 64 devices
in a multidrop environment.
ADDC (Automatic
Data Direction Control) intelligence is built into each CI-132 board
to eliminate the need for software interference. Hence, applications
can easily manage the half-duplex RS-485 port data transmitting and
receiving without the need for extra code. In addition, on-chip hardware
flow control, built-in termination resistors, and optical isolation
and surge protection options are able to deliver high reliability
for harsh industrial applications.
