StarTech Serial Card, 1 Port, 460.8kbps Maximum Baud Rate - PEX1S953LP

This serial card provides a single RS232 port for adding serial communication to PCIe-equipped systems. Designed for industrial and systems-integration environments, it offers a Compact Interface card option compatible with common Windows and Linux operating systems for connecting legacy devices, instrumentation and control hardware.

Features and Benefits:

• PCI Express 1.1 bus ensures low-latency host connectivity
• One RS232 port enables single-device serial connection
• Maximum baud rate 460.8kbps supports high-speed data transfer
• 2048bit FIFO reduces CPU interrupts during burst traffic
• WHQL approval assures certified Windows driver compatibility
• Compatible with Linux and legacy Windows Server 2003 systems

Applications

• Suitable for connecting PLCs and factory automation controllers
• Ideal for serial diagnostic links on test rigs and benches
• Used with serial sensors and instrumentation in process control
• Can be used for legacy Terminal connections in industrial PCs
• Used for point-of-sale or telemetry interfaces requiring RS232

Which operating systems can be used with the card?

It is compatible with Linux distributions and Windows platforms including Windows Server 2003 and Windows 7.

How does the FIFO size affect serial communication?

The 2048bit FIFO buffers incoming and outgoing data, reducing CPU overhead and smoothing burst transfers at high baud rates.

What Interface does it use to connect to the host?

It uses a PCI Express Interface compliant with PCI Express 1.1 for connection to the system motherboard.

What serial signalling standard does the port employ?

The single port implements the RS232 communication standard for serial device interfacing.
