Overview
Moxa Universal PCI (UPCI) multiport serial boards can be installed in PCI or PCI-X slots, and
support both 3.3V and 5V PCI/PCI-X. With a UPCI board, you can connect data acquisition
equipment and other serial devices to your PC over RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. Each board has
on-chip hardware and software flow control, a built-in 128-byte Tx/Rx FIFO, and well-designed
device drivers that have been fine-tuned. This allows Moxa UPCI boards to support data
transmission speeds of up to 921.6 Kbps.
The following UPCI multiport serial boards are available from Moxa:

Smartio—The Smart Multiport Async Solution
The Smartio Series of multiport serial boards includes the CP-168U, CP-104UL, CP-104JU,
POS-104UL, CP-102UL, and CP-102U. These boards provide RS-232 serial ports for connecting
terminals, modems, printers, scanners, cash registers, bar code readers, keypads, numeric displays,
electrical scales, data acquisition equipment, and many other serial devices to a PC. These boards
are a reliable, high-performance solution for multiport serial communication.
Industio—The Industrial Multiport Async Solution
The Industio Series of multiport serial boards includes the CP-118U-I, CP-118U, CP-138U-I,
CP-138U, CP-114UL, CP134U, CP-134U-I, CP-132UL, and CP-132UL-I. These boards are
designed for industrial use, with serial ports that can be configured independently for RS-232,
RS-422, or RS-485 operation. Industio boards provide a reliable communication link over distances
of up to 4000 ft and support point-to-point full-duplex or multi-drop half-duplex. With RS-485
operation, a single port can connect to 32 devices in a multi-drop environment.
ADDC™ (Automatic Data Direction Control) for RS-485
ADDC™ (Automatic Data Direction Control) makes it easier to manage 2-wire RS-485 half-duplex
connections, eliminating the need for software interference. This means that it is not necessary to
write extra code for Windows applications to control the half-duplex protocol. ADDC intelligence is
built into Industio boards.
Serial-over-fiber Board
The CP-102UF is a serial-over-fiber board designed for industrial automation applications that
require a long distance, multi-point, PC-based data acquisition solution. The single-mode model
(CP-102UF-S) can transmit up to 40 km, and the multi-mode model (CP-102UF-M) can transmit up
to 5 km. For many industrial applications, an even bigger benefit is that optical fiber isolates the data
from dangerous increases in ground potential, ground loops, and electrical EMI/RFI
electromagnetic radiation.
Built-in Termination Resistors for RS-422 and RS-485
Industio boards have termination resistors built-in, eliminating the headaches involved in
determining the proper impedance for the resistors. For additional information, please refer to
Chapter 2.

Universal PCI Board User’s Manual Introduction
1-4
ESD and Isolation Protection
Certain models include TVSS (Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor) technology to help prevent
damage due to lightning or high potential voltage. Optical isolation (2000V) and embedded
protection (max. ESD of 16 KV, max. EFT of 2 KV) are also available with certain models. These
features help provide protection in critical or harsh factory-type environments.
PCI Solution
UPCI boards comply with PCI Spec. 2.1 and do not require switches or jumpers. IRQ and I/O
address is automatically assigned by the PCI BIOS. This means that the board must be physically
installed in the computer first before the driver software is installed.
Universal PCI
For maximum compatibility with the PCI local bus specification, UPCI boards support both 3.3V
and 5V PCI connector types. The 32/64-bit PCI local bus specification specifies both a 3.3V/5Vand
32/64-bit slot.
Operating System Support
Moxa UPCI boards are compatible with most major industrial platforms, including Windows, DOS,
and Linux. Drivers are provided for smoother installation, configuration, and performance. This
manual provides separate sections for the different operating systems that are supported.
Moxa Serial Communication Tools
For application development, Moxa provides a serial communication library for Windows called
PComm. This library can help you develop your own applications in Visual Basic, Visual C++,
Borland Delphi, and more. Utilities are included for debugging, monitoring communication status,
terminal emulation, and file transfer.
Applications
UPCI boards are suitable for many industrial applications, including the following:
yMultipoint data acquisition
yFactory automation
yCritical industrial control
yRemote serial device control
yInternet/intranet connections
yRemote access applications
yMulti-user applications

Overview
This chapter explains the hardware installation procedure in detail. Since the BIOS automatically
assigns the IRQ number and I/O addresses, you will need to install the board before you install the
drivers. You can install up to 4 UPCI boards in one system, as long as sufficient I/O address and IRQ
number resources are available.

Onboard termination resistors can be activated individually for each serial port using jumpers JP1
through JP8. JP1 corresponds to serial port 1. Short the jumper pins to activate the termination
resistor; leave the jumper pins open to bypass the termination resistor.
The onboard DIP switches, S1, S2, and S3, are used to select RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 mode for
each serial port. There are 8 switches on each bank corresponding to the 8 serial ports. S3 selects
between RS-232 and RS-422/485, S2 selects between RS-422 and RS-485, and S1 selects between
2-wire and 4-wire RS-485, as follows:
Mode S1 S2 S3
RS-232 --- --- ON
RS-422 --- ON OFF

Onboard termination resistors can be activated individually for each serial port using jumpers JP1
through JP4. JP1 corresponds to serial port 1. Short the jumper pins to activate the termination
resistor; leave the jumper pins open to bypass the termination resistor.
The onboard DIP switches, S1, S2, and S3, are used to select RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 mode for
each serial port. Switches 1 through 4 on each bank correspond to the 4 serial ports. S3 selects
between RS-232 and RS-422/485, S2 selects between RS-422 and RS-485, and S1 selects between
2-wire and 4-wire RS-485, as follows:
Mode S1 S2 S3
RS-232 --- --- ON
RS-422 --- ON OFF
4-wire RS-485 ON OFF OFF
2-wire RS-485 OFF OFF OFF
