It supports two selection modes: Auto and Manualmode. The Automode is the default setting (DIP switch is set as 0), and the uncertain COM port number will be assigned automatically by OS.

2 Overview.1. Overview Multiport Serial Cards Overview 1 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 COMSelector PLC FAB Machine VXC Card Modem PAC Each VXC/VEX card is equipped with a COMSelector (DIP switch) for the COM port number selection. It supports two selection modes: Auto and Manualmode. The Automode is the default setting (DIP switch is set as 0), and the uncertain COM port number will be assigned automatically by OS. The COM port number can be different after the PC reboot, and then may cause failures of an automation system. The Manualmode of the COMselector (DIP switch is set as 1 ~ 55) can force the card to use userdefined COM port number and eliminates the Automode issues above. It's an important and innovative feature of the VXC family. The Manualmode of the COMSelector provides the following advantages: Simplifies the COM port number selection without configuration utility. Specifies the COM port number directly, regardless of which PCI slot is plugged in. Avoids the confusion of uncertain COM port number that other PnP COM port devices use. Easy to replace a broken card just with the same DIP switch setting. Easy COM Port Selection by DIP switch ESD Protection The VXC cards offer TVS diode ESD protection technology, protecting your system from being damaged by the high potential voltages. Overview 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.

Industrial Communication & Networking Products Catalog 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 & Networking Products Catalog 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. Universal PCI (3.3 V and 5 V) The Universal PCI card works with both new 3.3 V PCI bus that has been widelyused in servers, and traditional 5 V PCI bus. The universal PCI interface will be the standard for every card from ICP DAS in the near future. PCI Express PCI Express (PCIe) is a computer expansion bus standard. A key difference between PCIe and earlier PC buses is a topology based on pointtopoint serial links, rather than a shared parallel bus architecture. Conceptually, the PCIe bus can be thought of as a 'highspeed serial replacement' of the older PCI/PCIX 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.
