Acromag's IP501-128E module provides an asynchronous serial communication interface with extended temperature range for your system. It has four asynchronous, full-duplex EIA/TIA-422B serial ports. Since the transceivers are compatible with the EIA-485 standard, you can also use a full-duplex RS-485 interface for multiple driver support. However, for true half-duplex EIA-485 operation, use the IP502.

Software-configuration quickly sets the baud rate, character-size, stop bits, and parity.

For more efficient data processing, each serial port is equipped with 16, 64 or 28-character FIFO buffers on the transmit and receive lines.

Features

• Four asynchronous, full-duplex EIA/TIA-422B serial ports (full-duplex EIA-485)
• 16, 64, or 128-byte FIFO buffers
• Programmable baud rate (up to 512Kbps) (Consult factory for custom rates up to 1Mbps)
• Individually controlled interrupts (unique vectors for each port)
• Handshake control signals (RTS, CTS) for each channel
• Extended temperature range (-40 to 85°C)
• Industry-standard 16C550 family UART includes software-compatible 16C450 mode
