Universal PCI Board Introduction
Overview
Moxa Universal PCI (UPCI) multiport serial boards can be installed in PCI or PCI-X slots, and support both 3.3V
and 5V PCI/PCI-X. With a UPCI board, you can connect data acquisition equipment and other serial devices to
your PC over RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. Each board has on-chip hardware and software flow control, a
built-in 128-byte Tx/Rx FIFO, and well-designed device drivers that have been fine-tuned. This allows Moxa
UPCI boards to support data transmission speeds of up to 921.6 Kbps.

Universal PCI Board Introduction
Smartio—The Smart Multiport Async Solution
The Smartio Series of multiport serial boards includes the CP-168U, CP-104UL, CP-104JU, POS-104UL,
CP-102UL, and CP-102U. These boards provide RS-232 serial ports for connecting terminals, modems, printers,
scanners, cash registers, bar code readers, keypads, numeric displays, electrical scales, data acquisition
equipment, and many other serial devices to a PC. These boards are a reliable, high-performance solution for
multiport serial communication.
Industio—The Industrial Multiport Async Solution
The Industio Series of multiport serial boards includes the CP-118U-I, CP-118U, CP-138U-I, CP-138U,
CP-114UL, CP134U, CP-134U-I, CP-132UL, and CP-132UL-I. These boards are designed for industrial use, with
serial ports that can be configured independently for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 operation. Industio boards
provide a reliable communication link over distances of up to 4000 ft and support point-to-point full-duplex or
multi-drop half-duplex. With RS-485 operation, a single port can connect to 32 devices in a multi-drop
environment.
ADDCTM (Automatic Data Direction Control) for RS-485
ADDC™ (Automatic Data Direction Control) makes it easier to manage 2-wire RS-485 half-duplex connections,
eliminating the need for software interference. This means that it is not necessary to write extra code for
Windows applications to control the half-duplex protocol. ADDC intelligence is built into Industio boards.
Serial-over-fiber Board
The CP-102UF is a serial-over-fiber board designed for industrial automation applications that require a long
distance, multi-point, PC-based data acquisition solution. The single-mode model (CP-102UF-S) can transmit
up to 40 km, and the multi-mode model (CP-102UF-M) can transmit up to 5 km. For many industrial
applications, an even bigger benefit is that optical fiber isolates the data from dangerous increases in ground
potential, ground loops, and electrical EMI/RFI electromagnetic radiation.
Built-in Termination Resistors for RS-422 and RS-485
Industio boards have termination resistors built-in, eliminating the headaches involved in determining the
proper impedance for the resistors. For additional information, please refer to Chapter 2.
ESD and Isolation Protection
Certain models include TVSS (Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor) technology to help prevent damage due to
lightning or high potential voltage. Optical isolation (2000V) and embedded protection (max. ESD of 16 KV,
max. EFT of 2 KV) are also available with certain models. These features help provide protection in critical or
harsh factory-type environments.
PCI Solution
UPCI boards comply with PCI Spec. 2.1 and do not require switches or jumpers. IRQ and I/O address is
automatically assigned by the PCI BIOS. This means that the board must be physically installed in the computer
first before the driver software is installed.
Universal PCI
For maximum compatibility with the PCI local bus specification, UPCI boards support both 3.3V and 5V PCI
connector types. The 32/64-bit PCI local bus specification specifies both a 3.3V/5V and 32/64-bit slot.
Operating System Support
Moxa UPCI boards are compatible with most major industrial platforms, including Windows, DOS, and Linux.
Drivers are provided for smoother installation, configuration, and performance. This manual provides separate
sections for the different operating systems that are supported.
Moxa Serial Communication Tools
For application development, Moxa provides a serial communication library for Windows called PComm. This
library can help you develop your own applications in Visual Basic, Visual C++, Borland Delphi, and more.
Utilities are included for debugging, monitoring communication status, terminal emulation, and file transfer.

Universal PCI Board Hardware Installation
Overview
This chapter explains the hardware installation procedure in detail. Since the BIOS automatically assigns the
IRQ number and I/O addresses, you will need to install the board before you install the drivers. You can install
up to 8 UPCI boards in one system, as long as sufficient I/O address and IRQ number resources are available.
Configuring the Board and Dimension
8 Ports
CP-118U/CP-118U-I

Universal PCI Board Hardware Installation
Onboard termination resistors can be activated individually for each serial port using jumpers JP1 through JP8.
For CP-118U-I, JP1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8 corresponds to serial port 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8, respectively. For CP-118U,
JP1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8 corresponds to serial port 8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1, respectively. Short the jumper pins to activate
the termination resistor; leave the jumper pins open to bypass the termination resistor.
The onboard DIP switches, S1, S2, and S3, are used to select RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 mode for each serial
port. There are 8 switches on each bank corresponding to the 8 serial ports. S3 selects between RS-232 and
RS-422/485, S2 selects between RS-422 and RS-485, and S1 selects between 2-wire and 4-wire RS-485, as
follows:
Mode S1 S2 S3
RS-232 – – ON
RS-422 – ON OFF
4-wire RS-485 ON OFF OFF
2-wire RS-485 OFF OFF OFF

CP-134U/CP-134U-I
Onboard termination resistors can be activated individually for each serial port using jumpers JP1 through JP4.
For CP-134U, JP1/2/3/4 corresponds to serial port 1/2/3/4, respectively. For CP-134U-I, JP1/2/3/4
corresponds to serial port 4/3/2/1, respectively. Short the jumper pins to activate the termination resistor;
leave the jumper pins open to bypass the termination resistor.
The onboard DIP switches, S1 and S2, are used to select RS-422 or RS-485 mode for each serial port. Switches
1 through 4 on each bank correspond to the 4 serial ports. S2 selects between RS-422 and RS-485; S1 selects
between 2-wire and 4-wire RS-485. In addition, ports 1 and 2 can be set individually to RS-232 mode using the
on-board 30-pin jumpers, as follows:

This chapter gives installation, configuration, and update/removal procedures for the driver for Windows 2000,
Windows 2003/XP/Vista/2008 (32-bit/64-bit), Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (32-bit/64-bit), Windows Server 2008
R2/2012/2012 R2/2016 (x64), WinCE, DOS, Linux (32-bit/64-bit), and SCO. Before proceeding with the
software installation, complete the hardware installation discussed in the previous chapter, “Hardware
Installation.”
Refer to the next chapter, “Serial Programming Tools,” for information about developing your own serial
programming applications. Note that you can install up to 8 Universal PCI boards in one system, provided
sufficient I/O address and IRQ number resources are available.
You can download the drivers from the Moxa website.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:

Windows Drivers
Moxa provides drivers that allow you to use the following serial board products for a variety of Windows
platforms.
