Blue Heat/PCI Applications Blue Heat/PCI adapters offer two, four or eight asynchronous RS-232 serial ports that enable you to connect multiple terminals, modems, printers, data collection devices, barcode readers and other serial devices to PCI bus compatible computers. Blue Heat/PCI adapters are ideal industrial strength solutions for communications, data acquisition, industrial automation, office automation, POS, and scientific/instrumentation applications requiring high- speed multi-channel serial data collection and processing. Features • Two, four or eight asynchronous RS-232 serial ports. • Supports data communications speeds up to 1382.4 KBPS. • 16C654 UARTs control each port providing 64 bytes of TxD/RxD FIFO buffers. • Dual mode interrupt scheme: PCI and ISA modes with status register (for software that supports this feature) to improve performance and compatibility. • Independent port configuration with baud rates from 21 BPS to 1382.4 Diagnostic Tools KBPS; data bits of 5, 6, 7 or 8; stop bits of 1, 1.5, or 2, and odd, even, or Blue Heat/PCI adapters include the Windows 95/98 software data line analyzer SeePORT, stick parity. to help you diagnose communication problems and therefore minimize downtime. • Full modem control on all ports. Warranty and Service • DB9, DB25 male cables, or DB9 male connector box, or RJ45 connector Connect Tech, an ISO 9001 registered company, has provided high performance module available.(custom cable solutions also offered) communication solutions since 1985, building and testing products to meet high standards • Multi-strike surge protection; IEC1000-4 compatible on all signals, all of quality and reliability.
