Product overview

PE60D PCI Express board provides RS-232C x 2ports & 6bit Digital I/O x 1port.

This product is the Japanese version, but it works on English version of Windows.
Please note all documents including user's manual as well as software are Japanese.

Features

• Multi-function board with COM ports and digital I/O ports.
-Only this 1 PCI Express board provides multi-functions(RS-232C x 2ports & 6bit Digital I/O x 1port)




• DB9in connector mounted, sample source codes included.
  
  
-Industry standard DB9pin connector(Male) adopted.


-Enables to connect RS-232C devices such as UPS's, modems, magnetic card readers by using
cables available through the market.
Widely applicable in measurement field such as electrical scales, control field such as sequencers,
NC[Numerical Control] machines.
-RS-232C communication sample programs for VC++2010、VB2010、VC++6.0、VB6.0 included.




• DIO port mounted, sample source codes included.

-As 6bit DIO port is mounted, there is no need to purchase an expensive DIO interface.

Driver to control DIO port, DLL, sample source codes(VC++6.0、VB6.0) included.
With an optional accessory cable and bracket(Model name:RCL-60D), DIO port mounted can exceed outside a PC, as shown below. For further information, see the optional accessory.





• Can add 4 boards into 1 PC.

-Industry standard DB9pin connector(Male) adopted.
-By acquiring an unique ID at DIP switch mounted on the PCBA, 4 boards can be recognized by
software. Sample source codes are included to confirm COM port number assigned to each
RS-232C port(VC++2010,VB2010,VC++6.0,VB6.0).

*The number of boards which can be added into 1 PC depends the number of slots available
in the PC.
*COM port number will be automatically assigned on OS.

• Compatible with Low-Profile bracket.

-Compatible with standard PCI Express slot and Low-Profile slot.
By just replacing the standard bracket, you can use as Low-Profile PCI Express board.
The best choice for slim PC's.

▼For standard PC, 2 ports are available▼

▼For Low-Profile PC's, 2 options are available▼

• Max DTE communication speed 921.6Kbps at each port.
• Electro-static discharge(ESD) protect circuit is mounted.
  Transceiver with protect function is mounted(Aerial discharge +/- 15KV, Contact discharge+/- 8KV).
  Latch up won't happen.
• Supports Windows Server OS
  Compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2/Server 2012/Server 2008 R2/Server 2008/Server 2003 R2/Server 2003/2000 Server
• FIFO buffer(256 bytes for transmit/receive respectively) at each port
  At each port, FIFO(First-In First-Out) buffer is mounted with transmit 256bytes, receive 256bytes.
  This enables to prevent data from not being received at high communication, which results in stable communication environment.
• Non-use of RoHS 6 Restricted Substances
  As PE60D is free from 6 hazardous substances:Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr(VI), PBB, PBDE, it is eco- & human- friendly product.
