Introduction

SUNIX 4479AM PCI Express Multi-I/O communication board provides independent high speed RS-232 serial and IEEE 1284 interface, is compatible with PCI Express x1, x2, x4, x8 and x16 lane Bus, allowing the board to be installed in virtually any PC system that is equipped with PCI Express slot. The new slot standard supports Windows 2000 and above, plus Linux 2.4x and above kernel. SUNIX 4479AM is designed for commercial automation applications which connect RS-232 serial peripherals without power supply. It provides options to select 5V and 12V power supply or RS-232 RI signal through the ninth pin of DB9 male connector in different ports. SUNIX 4479AM PCI Express Multi-port serial card is the best solution for various industrial communication and automation applications.

Remarks

PCI-Express Tutorial

PCI Express is the next revolution I/O interconnects standards that will deliver the bandwidth and features required by PCs, cosumer electronics and communications devices. The architecture is a cost-effective, low-pin count, and point-to-point technologies offering maximum bandwidth, reducing cost and design complexity and enabling smaller form factors. Single-lane (or x1) PCI Express link has potential transfer rates of 2.5 Gbps by two pairs of wires connection. This differs from existent PCI Bus architectures that used a shard, parallel bus architctures.
