PMC Modules PMC Modules NEW! Not Actual Photo PMC520 (available 4th Qtr 2004) Octal Serial 232 Communication These modules provide eight asynchronous serial communication ports from a single PMC carrier slot. Software-configuration helps you quickly set baud rates, character-sizes, stop bits, and parity. Signal support for With eight serial ports per module, the PMC520 provides a high-density solution to reduce costs and use fewer card slots. RTS/CTS handshaking is also included. Specifications Ordering Information For more efficient data processing, each serial port is equipped with 64-character FIFO buffers on the RS232E Serial Ports PMC Modules Configuration: Independent, non-isolated serial ports with a transmit and receive lines. PMC520-64 common single return connection and configured as a Eight RS232E serial ports, front I/O connector The data ports generate individually controlled transmit, DTE device.
