2 Overview.1. Overview Multiport Serial Cards Overview 1 Overview Meter Introduction Overview The VXC multiport serial card enables user to increase additional communication ports on PCs. It s the ontopofthelist choice while you are managing to connect lots of outer devices through your PC; every VXC card ensures you smooth communication in both timecritical applications and industrial fields. With simply a VXC card, it has never been that easy to integrate a PC with lots of devices, such as PLCs, FAB machines, meters, controller devices, laboratory instruments, modems, card readers, serial printers, RFID readers, bar code readers, sensors, etc. Introduction Features PLC FAB Machine COMSelector Each VXC card is equipped with a COMSelector (DIP Switch) for the COM port number selection (automatically or manually). It s an important and innovative feature for the VXC family. The COMSelector provides the following advantages: Simplifies the COM port number selection; no configuration utility programs needed. Users can specify the COM port number of the VXC card as VXC Card Modem PAC Easy COM Port Selection by DIP switch exactly what they want, no matter which slot it is located at. Automatically selecting an available COM port number is supported by setting the COMSelector (DIP switch) to 0 (default). No need to install configuration utility and to study its operation for different OS. Prevents confusion. Other PnP COM port devices easily confuse users because of adopting the dynamic COM port number setting. Easy replacement of an existing card by setting the DIP switch to be the same COM port number. Great for mass system installation; since setting the DIP switch to be the same COM port number is very easy. ESD Protection The VXC cards offer TVS diode ESD protection technology, protecting your system from being damaged by the high potential voltages. Z in Transient Current C Frame Ground TVS Diode PROTECTED CIRCUIT Under normal operating conditions, the TVS diode presents high impedance (appears as an open circuit) to the protected component. When the voltage is beyond the limits, the TVS diode avalanches providing a low impedance path for the transient current. As a result, the transient current is diverted away from the protected components and shunted through the TVS diode. The device returns to a high impedance state after the transient threat passed. 11 ICP DAS CO., LTD Professional Provider of High Quality Industrial Computer Products and Data Acquisition Systems

Industrial Communication Products SelfTuner The VXC card is equipped with a SelfTuner chip to control the sending/receiving direction of RS485 ports automatically.

The timing to enable and disable transmitter (direction control) is the major issue on many communication problems, and it is very difficult to debug.

Isolation Some VXC cards offer photo isolation to protect your computer and equipment against damages in harsh environment.

This keeping them electrically isolated since the signal goes from an electrical signal to an optical signal, the electrical contact along the path is broken.

circuit affecting the other. Hardware FIFO up to 18 bytes FIFO stands for "First In, First Out", an abstraction in ways of organizing and manipulating data relative to time and prioritization.

Software gets data in dynamic timing. Hardware puts data in fixed speed. VXC Cards are equipped with 16 or 18byte hardware FIFO for each port.

3 Industrial Communication Products SelfTuner The VXC card is equipped with a SelfTuner chip to control the sending/receiving direction of RS485 ports automatically. Without the help of SelfTuner, users need to enable RS485 transmitter before sending, and disable the transmitter after finishing sending. The timing to enable and disable transmitter (direction control) is the major issue on many communication problems, and it is very difficult to debug. The builtin SelfTuner on VXC cards effectively gets rid of this direction control issue and also simplifies software programming for communication applications. Isolation Some VXC cards offer photo isolation to protect your computer and equipment against damages in harsh environment. Photo coupler is a device that uses a short optical 1 3 transmission path to transfer a signal between 4 elements of a circuit, typically a transmitter and a Photo Coupler Operation receiver. This keeping them electrically isolated since the signal goes from an electrical signal to an optical signal, the electrical contact along the path is broken. It can help cutting down on ground loops, common mode voltages and block voltage spikes, provide electrical isolation, and offer significant protection from serious overvoltage conditions in one circuit affecting the other. Hardware FIFO up to 18 bytes FIFO stands for "First In, First Out", an abstraction in ways of organizing and manipulating data relative to time and prioritization. FIFO is used for buffering and flow control while data come from hardware to software. When using hardware FIFO (buffer), a little delay on software or operating system will not lost data at all. Software gets data in dynamic timing. Hardware puts data in fixed speed. VXC Cards are equipped with 16 or 18byte hardware FIFO for each port. Large hardware FIFO is useful to prevent data lost when your system works on heavy loading, and even helpful while you are running on a multitask operating system, such as Windows, Linux etc. COM port buffer up to 18 KB The VXC card driver for Windows features an up to 18 KB buffer for each port (default is 4 KB). It s practical for large file transmission. Short Card Design The Short Card design is suitable for compactsized computer, especially for IPC (Industrial Personal Computer) and servers. (3.3 V and 5 V) The card works with both new 3.3 V bus that has been widelyused in servers, and traditional 5 V bus. The universal interface will be the standard for every card from ICP DAS in the near future. Express Express (e) is a computer expansion card standard. A key difference between e and earlier PC buses is a topology based on pointtopoint serial links, rather than a shared parallel bus architecture. Conceptually, the e bus can be thought of as a 'highspeed serial replacement' of the older /X bus. Various Accessories There are a lot of optional accessories for the VXC cards, such as RS3 cables and daughter boards. These tools make wiring much easily than ever.
