1. Introduction
The PCIe multiport serial card is the foremost choice for PC-based communication solutions,
ensuring smooth communication in both time-critical applications and industrial fields. Installing a
multiport card increases the number of serial ports available on the PC, meaning that it is much
easier to integrate a PC with a large number of external serial communication devices, such as PLCs,
meters, controllers, laboratory instruments, modems, card readers, serial printers, RFID readers,
bar code readers, and sensors.

1.1 Features
PCI Express
PCI Express (PCIe) is a computer expansion card standard. A key difference between PCIe and
earlier PC buses is a topology based on point-to-point serial links, rather than shared parallel bus
architecture. Conceptually, the PCIe bus can be thought of as a 'high-speed serial replacement' of
the older PCI/PCI-X bus.
Hardware FIFO up to 256 bytes
FIFO is an acronym for "First In, First Out", and is a method used for organizing and manipulating
data relative to time and prioritization. FIFO is used for buffering and flow control while the data is
transmitted from the hardware to the software. When using a hardware FIFO (buffer), a small delay
in either the software or the operating system will not cause any data loss.
PCIe multiport serial cards are equipped with a large 256-byte hardware FIFO for each port. A large
hardware FIFO is useful for preventing data loss if the loading on your system is heavy, e.g. while
running a multi-task operating system, such as Windows or Linux.

Automatically Select COM Port Numbers
The COM ports on a PCIe multiport serial card can be automatically detected and configured by the
software driver. You can clearly and easily specify any COM port to access your serial devices in
control programs with regardless of which PCI Express slot that the PCIe multiport serial card is
inserted in.
.
Various Accessories
There are a lot of optional accessories for the PCIe multiport serial cards, such as RS-232 cables and
daughter boards. These tools make wiring much easier than ever before.

2.2.3 RS-422 Wiring
Note:
1. Usually, you have to connect all signal grounds of RS-422/485 devices together to reduce
common-mode voltage between devices.
2. Twisted-pair cable must be used for the DATA+/- wires.
3. Both two ends of the cable may require a termination resistor connected across the two
wires (DATA+ and DATA-). Typically 120 Ω resisters are used.
4. The Data+ and B pins are positive-voltage pins, and Data- and A pins are negative-voltage
pins in the above figure. The B/A pins may be defined in another way depending on devices,
please check it first.
