ASIC Design, Compact Size The Intellio C218Turbo/PCI is also equipped with MOXA customer-designed ASIC chip, which replaces lots of conventional IC and hence reduces the board to half-size, increases the operation performance, and lowers the failure rate of the board. Surge/Isolation Protection To prevent the boards from damage caused by lightning or high potential voltage, TVSS (Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor) and high potential difference protector technologies are introduced in some conne

Step 7: Connect one of the connection box/cable (also adapter if required) detailed in the next Section. Step 8: Power on PC and BIOS will automatically set the IRQ and memory address. Note ! Each board must occupy one unique IRQ and one unique memory address, which are assigned by PCI BIOS automatically. However, you may select the free IRQ number manually via PC's BIOS setup for PCI slot, but normally this method is not available for memory. The possible IRQ numbers are 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11,

Hardware Installation RS-422 Mode Set the respective switch to OFF position to use RS-422 interface. This means the port is always ready to transmit and receive data simultaneously (full-duplex). RS-485 Mode The Opt8J supports only 2-wire RS-485 communication. Set the respective switch to ON position to use RS-485 interface. This means the port can transmit data only when RTS is asserted, and receive data only when RTS is not asserted (half-duplex). Refer to Chapter “Connection Option (Opt8x) an
