Each port has a 16C550 UART with an on-chip 16-byte FIFO buffer for reliable, high-speed serial I/O. The UART buffers data into 16-byte packets before sending it to the bus. This drastically reduces the CPU load and avoids data loss when the system is busy and cannot 8 process the interrupt quickly. The UART is especially useful for high speed serial I/O under Windows. eConnectivity The PCL-846 cards utilize onboard optical isolators to protect your PC and equipment against damage from ground loops, increasing system reliability in harsh environments. To further increase reliability, PCL-846B cards include surge protection technology, protecting your system from abrupt high voltage surges (up to 2000 V) such as those caused by lightning during thunderstorms. 9 ICOM An RS-485 Network with Automatic Data Flow Control Using RS-232 Software The RS-485 mode automatically senses the direction of incoming data and switches its transmission direction accordingly. This feature makes your network look and act just like 10 Software an RS-232 network. Application software written for half duplex RS-232 can be used without modification. Moreover, you can simply and quickly build an RS-485 network with just two wires. 11 UNO-2000/3000 Specifications Pin Assignments § Ports 4 12 § UART 4 x 16C550 with 16-byte FIFO VBOX TX- DATA- RTS- § Speed 50 ~ 921.6 Kbps TX+ DATA+ RTS+ § Parity None, even, odd RX+ CTS+ 13 RX- § Signal Support TxD+, TxD-, RxD+, RxD-, CTS+, CTS-, RTS+ and RTS- ADAM-4000 CTS- GND GND § I/O Address From 200H to 3F8H § IRQ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 or 15 14 RS-422 RS-485 § Isolation Voltage 1000 V DC ADAM-5000 § Surge Protection 2000 V (PCL-846B only) DC § Power Consumption +5 V @ 970 mA typical, 1.2 A max. 15 § Cables 30 cm male DB-37 to four male DB-9 (DTE) Ordering Information ADAM-6000 § Operating Temperature 0 ~ 60° C (32 ~ 140° F) § PCL-846A 4-port RS-422/485 interface card w/isolation § Storage Temperature -25 ~ 80° C (-13 ~ 176° F) protection (DB-37 to 4 DB-9 cable included) 16 § Dimensions 185 x 100 mm (7.3" x 3.9") § PCL-846B 4-port RS-422/485 interface card w/isolation and surge ADAM-8000 protection (DB-37 to 4 DB-9 cable included) Industrial Communication Online Download www.advantech.com/products 9-16 9-17

TERRIFIC RESOURCE
This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

GO TO SOURCE
When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
