PCI Express Boards Introduction
1-2
Overview
Moxa’s new PCI Express Multiport Serial Boards are designed for POS and ATM applications and for use by
industrial automation system manufacturers and system integrators. The boards are compatible with all
popular operating systems, and each of them supports data rates of up to 921.6 kbps and provides full
modem control signals, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of serial peripherals. In addition, all models
work with PCI Express x1, allowing the boards to be installed in any available PCI Express slot (including x1,
x2, x4, x8, x16, x32).
PCI Express Solution
The boards comply with PCI Express Spec. 1.1. The ports’ transmission parameters are configured after the
boards are installed. The PCI BIOS automatically assigns the IRQ and I/O addresses. For this reason, you
must plug the boards into the computer before installing the drivers. For more information about PCI
Express, refer to the “Technical Reference” appendix.
ADDC™ (Automatic Data Direction Control) for RS-485
RS-485 uses differential data transmission over two wires to transmit data from one station to another, and
allows multiple transmitters and receivers to be used on the same data line. RS-485 uses half-duplex
transmission, which means that transmission and reception share the same data channels. For this reason,
only one transmitter can be active at any given time.
Moxa’s serial boards have a built-in circuitry to switch transmitters on and off automatically. We call this
form of switching ADDC® (Automatic Data Direction Control). ADDC® is much easier to implement than the
traditional handshaking method that uses the RTS signal.
Operating System Support
The PCI Express boards are compatible with all major industrial platforms, including Windows, Windows CE,
DOS, Linux, and SCO. Moxa device drivers are provided for smoother installation, configuration, and
performance.
Visit Moxa’s website at www.moxa.com to download the latest drivers and user’s manuals for all of Moxa’s
products.
Moxa Serial Comm Tool
For application development, Moxa provides an easy-to-use serial communication library called PComm that
runs under the Windows operation system. Use this library to develop your own applications with Visual
Basic, Visual C++, Borland Delphi, to name a few. Utilities such as Data Scope, Monitor, Terminal Emulator,
and Diagnostics are included to make it easier to debug, monitor communication status, provide terminal
emulation, and transfer files.

2. Hardware Installation
In this chapter, we show the dimensions diagrams of all of the boards in the PCI Express Series and
describe the hardware installation procedure. Since the BIOS automatically assigns the PCI Express board’s
IRQ number and I/O addresses, you must plug in the board before installing the driver (driver installation is
discussed in Chapter 3).

Plugging the Board into an Expansion Slot
Step 1: Power off the PC.
WARNING
To avoid
damaging your system and board, make sure you turn off your computer before installing the
board.
Step 2: Remove the PC’s cover.
Step 3: Remove the slot cover bracket if there is one.
Step 4: Plug the PCI Express board firmly into a free PCI Express slot.
Step 5: Fasten the holding screw to fix the control board in place.
Step 6: Replace the PC’s cover.
Step 7: Power on the PC. The BIOS will automatically set the IRQ and I/O address.
NOTE
Each Moxa PCI Express board uses one unique IRQ and I/O
address, both of which are assigned
automatically by the PCI BIOS.
Step 8: Proceed with the software installation discussed in the next chapter, “Software Installation.”

This section includes the following topics:
•Installing the Driver
•Configuring the Ports
•Checking the Status
•Removing the Driver
•Uninstalling the Driver
We will take Window 10 with an CP-116E-A card as an example. This procedure is similar to the other
Windows platforms regard to installing, configuring, checking the port status, and removing or uninstalling
the PCI Express cards.
Installing the Driver
In this section, we describe how to install the PCI Express cards for the first time with Windows 10. First,
make sure that you have already plugged the board or boards into the system’s PCI Express slot(s).
NOTE
If you have already installed
the Moxa’s PCI Express board in your computer, and you are installing
additional boards, Windows 7 will automatically detect and install the new board(s) the next time you boot
up the computer. In this case, proceed directly to the next section, “Configuring the Ports,” to configure the
ports’ serial transmission
parameters.
Second, you may download the drivers at www.moxa.com. Based on the OS type, choose the corresponding
driver.
Follow the following procedures to install the driver.
1. Double Click the installation file that you download from the Moxa website.
2. The Setup Wizard will open. Click Next to begin installing the driver.
