Retrofit serial and parallel interfaces via PCIe
Continue using legacy devices:Easily retrofit RS-232 and parallel port via PCIe.
High-performance connectivity:Single-lane (1x) PCIe for fast, system-level communication.
Scalable in the system:Use multiple cards in parallel in one computer.
Reliable RS-232 communication:256 byte FIFO per port, flow control and common data formats.
Broad parallel port compatibility:IEEE1284 with SPP/PS2/EPP/ECP for flexible applications.
This PCIe interface card adds two serial RS-232 ports and one parallel IEEE1284 port to your computer. It enables connecting existing peripherals to modern systems and provides stable, compatible data transfer without extra configuration.
In professional IT environments, in on-site deployments and in service deployments, the card can be integrated quickly and incorporated into existing infrastructures of companies and public institutions. The option to use multiple cards provides headroom for serial or parallel applications in measurement, control, or printing processes.
