Industio CI-134 Series
4 Port RS-422/485 Industrial Communication Board

Overview:

The Industio CI-134 series is designed for RS-422/485 industrial communication. It supports 4 independent RS-422/485 ports that can control up to 128 devices in a multidrop environment.

To ease 2-wire RS-485 half-duplex control, Automatic Data Direction Control intelligence is built into each CI-134 board, eliminating the need for additional software. Hence, Windows applications can manage the RS-485 port without needing extra code to control the half-duplex protocol.

To meet the demand of high reliability in an industrial environment, optical isolation (2 KV) and surge protection (25 KV ESD) options are also available in this series.

Features:

Supports ADDC (Automatic Data Direction Control) intelligence
RS-485 data control: ADDC or by RTS
Built-in termination resistors
On-chip hardware flow control
Low repair rate with ASIC design
Works perfectly with all major Operating System
