Sealevel Systems, Inc. pioneers another
first for the industry: a 16-port RS-232 serial I/O adapter designed
for the new PCI Express bus design. "Sealevel is prepared to help our
customers meet their I/O needs with the PCI Express bus. This new
product, the COMM+16.PCIe, has the highest serial port count available for PCI Express," states Earle Foster, VP Sales and Marketing for Sealevel.
"While
that is a powerful advantage, the COMM+16.PCIe has other features that
are huge benefits to customers. For example, our board uses 16C854
UARTs with 128-byte FIFOs -- 16 times larger than other boards -- which
provides customers error-free operation even in high-speed
applications," said Foster.
Each serial port provides a maximum
data rate of 460.8K bps and the COMM+16.PCIe has an operating range
from 0 - +70°C (extended temperature versions operating from -40 -
+85°C are available). All Sealevel I/O products have a lifetime
warranty.
The COMM+16.PCIe is ideal for connecting to PLC's, bar
code readers, scales, and other data acquisition/control devices using
the included DB-25M fan-out cable (DB-9M fan-out cable
available as an option). The product includes SeaCOM™ software for
Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista and Linux operating systems. As an added
value, customers also receive WinSSD, a full-featured application for
testing and diagnostics including BERT (Bit Error Rate Testing),
throughput monitoring, loopback tests, and test pattern message
transmissions.
The COMM+16.PCIe (Item# 7161e) standard price is $679 and product is available for shipping.
