Industry Pack Modules IP520 Octal Serial 232 Communication These modules provide eight asynchronous serial communication ports from a single IP 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 IP520 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 Industry Pack Modules Configuration: Independent, non-isolated serial ports with a transmit and receive lines. IP520-64 common single return connection and configured as a Eight RS232E serial ports. The data ports generate individually controlled DTE device.
