8-port PCI Express serial board, w/o cable, RS-232/422/485, low

Introduction

The CP-118EL-A is a smart, 8-port PCI Express board designed for POS and ATM applications. It is a top choice of industrial automation engineers and system integrators, and supports many different operating systems, including Windows, Linux, even UNIX. In addition, each of the board’s eight serial ports can be configured independently for RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 (either 2-wire or 4-wire). The ports supports a fast 921.6 kbps baud rate. The CP-118EL-A provides full modem control signals to ensure compatibility with a wide range of serial peripherals. Its PCI Express x1 classification allows it to be installed in any PCI Express slot.

Smaller Form Factor

The CP-118EL-A is a low-profile board that is compatible with any PCI Express slot. The board requires only a 3.3 VDC power supply, which means that the board fits any host computer, ranging from shoebox to standard-sized PCs.

Drivers Provided for Windows, Linux and UNIX

Moxa continues to support a wide variety of operating systems, and the CP-118EL-A board is no exception. Reliable Windows and Linux/UNIX drivers are provided for all Moxa boards, and other operating systems, such as WEPOS, are also supported for embedded integration.
