IC-428P / IC-428PI
PCI 32 bit RS-422/485 Multi Port Adapter
User Manual
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver;
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that which
the receiver is connected;
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
￭ Introduction
The IC-428P is a PCI bus card that supports eight independent RS-422 or RS-485 serial
ports. It is ideal for various industrial communication and automation applications.
Each port utilizes 128K FIFO memory and is able to control devices in a multi-drop mode.
Furthermore, built-in surge functionality can protect your equipment and controller from
being damaged by lightning or high voltage damage.
The IC-428P supports both 3.3 and 5 voltages and can be used in either a 32 or 6 4 bit PCI
slot. It can be installed in virtually any computer. Setup is eas y since it is plug and play
compatible, users do not need to set jumpers for I/O addresses or interrupt locations.
Auto RTS Signal Control technology is integrated into the card providing the best way to
send and receive half-duplex RS-485 transmissions without software or writing extra code.
In addition, RS-422 and RS-485 auto identify and switch technology makes it more
convenient for users to change between RS-422 and RS-485 peripherals.
The IC-428PI is the same card with additional optical isolation (2.5KV).
￭ Features
Fully compliable with PCI Specification Version 2.2 standard
Supports both 64-bit & 32-bit PCI Bus and 3.3V &5V connector keys
High speed serial ports support baud rates up to 921.6Kbps
128K FIFO memory can reduce CPU loading and interrupting and will improve
system performance dramatically.
RS-422/485 Auto Identify and Switch technology makes it more convenient to
manage devices without jumpers or switch settings.
Auto RTS Signal Control technology can identify the status of the data transceiver
or receiver and send an RTS signal automatically, instead of using software to
control the transmitter.
