The CP-132UL and CP-132UL-I are 2-port Universal PCI boards designed for industrial automation applications that require a long distance, multi-point, PC-based data acquisition solution.n nnOn-chip Automatic Data Direction Control for precision RS-485 communication nRS-485 communication requires precise timing control to enable and disable the line driver. Moxa's Turbo Serial Engine chip that powers the CP-132UL/UL-I boards comes with on-chip ADDC , which makes RS-485 as easy to use as RS-232.n nRS-485 multidrop for up to 31 devices within 1.2 km nThe CP-132UL/UL-I Universal PCI boards have two RS-422/485 serial ports, both of which can achieve data rates up to 921.6 kbps. In RS-485 mode, the boards can connect up to 31 daisy-chained RS-485 devices within a range of 1.2 km. For long distance RS-485 communication, choose the CP-132UL-I model, which comes with 2 kV electrical isolation protection to prevent equipment damage.n nTop Serial PerformancenWith 20-plus years of experience in serial board design, Moxa is now concentrating on a new high performance serial data transmission chip. The Turbo Serial Engine chip provides serial boards with a 128-byte FIFO, on-chip 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.n nDrivers Provided for Windows, Linux, and UnixnMoxa continues to support a wide variety of operating systems, and the CP-132UL/UL-I boards are no exception. Reliable Windows COM and Linux/Unix TTY drivers are provided for all Moxa boards, and other operating systems, such as WEPOS, are also supported for embedded integration.
