1. Introduction
Moxa’s PCI Express serial boards meet the new slot standard for expansion boards and work with any PCI
Express slots. The boards have multiple RS-232/422/485 serial ports to connect data acquisition equipment
and other serial devices to a PC.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:

PCI Express Boards Introduction

Overview
Moxa’s new PCI Express Multiport Serial Boards are designed for POS and ATM applications and for use by
industrial automation system manufacturers and system integrators. The boards are compatible with all
popular operating systems, and each of them supports data rates of up to 921.6 kbps and provides full modem
control signals, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of serial peripherals. In addition, all models work with
PCI Express x1, allowing the boards to be installed in any available PCI Express slot (including x1, x2, x4, x8,
x16, x32).
PCI Express Solution
The boards comply with PCI Express Spec. 1.1. The ports’ transmission parameters are configured after the
boards are installed. The PCI BIOS automatically assigns the IRQ and I/O addresses. For this reason, you must
plug the boards into the computer before installing the drivers. For more information about PCI Express, refer
to the “Technical Reference” appendix.
ESD Protection
The PCI Express boards come with15 kV ESD protection built in to prevent damage to the boards from lightning
or high potential voltage. The surge protection feature makes the PCI Express boards suitable for industrial,
factory-type applications, and for use with applications that are subject to severe weather conditions.
ADDC™ (Automatic Data Direction Control) for RS-485
RS-485 uses differential data transmission over two wires to transmit data from one station to another, and
allows multiple transmitters and receivers to be used on the same data line. RS-485 uses half-duplex
transmission, which means that transmission and reception share the same data channels. For this reason,
only one transmitter can be active at any given time.
Moxa’s serial boards have a built-in circuitry to switch transmitters on and off automatically. We call this form
of switching ADDC® (Automatic Data Direction Control). ADDC® is much easier to implement than the
traditional handshaking method that uses the RTS signal.
Operating System Support
The PCI Express boards are compatible with all major industrial platforms, including Windows, Windows CE,
DOS, Linux, and SCO. Moxa device drivers are provided for smoother installation, configuration, and
performance.

Please notify your sales representative if any of the above items are missing or damaged.
Moxa Serial Comm Tool
For application development, Moxa provides an easy-to-use serial communication library called PComm that
runs under Windows NT/95/98/2000/XP/2003. Use this library to develop your own applications with Visual
Basic, Visual C++, Borland Delphi, to name a few. Utilities such as Data Scope, Monitor, Terminal Emulator,
and Diagnostics are included to make it easier to debug, monitor communication status, provide terminal
emulation, and transfer files.
Intelligent RS-485
With Intelligent RS-485, you only need one click to automatically tune the Pull High/Low and Termination
resistors and get your system ready to go!
Applications
The PCI Express boards are suitable for many different applications, including:
• Internet/Intranet Connections
• Remote Access
• Multi-user Applications
• Industrial Automation
• Office Automation
• Telecommunications
• PC-based Vending Machines and Kiosks
• POS (Point-of-Sale) Systems

2. Hardware Installation
In this chapter, we show the dimensions diagrams of all of the boards in the PCI Express Series and describe
the hardware installation procedure. Since the BIOS automatically assigns the PCI Express board’s IRQ number
and I/O addresses, you must plug in the board before installing the driver (driver installation is discussed in
Chapter 3).

WARNING
To avoid damaging your system and board, make sure you turn off your computer before installing the board.
NOTE
Each Moxa PCI Express board uses one unique IRQ and I/O address, both of which are assigned automatically
by the PCI BIOS.
Plugging the Board into an Expansion Slot
Step 1: Power off the PC.
Step 2: Remove the PC’s cover.
Step 3: Remove the slot cover bracket if there is one.
Step 4: Plug the PCI Express board firmly into a free PCI Express slot.
Step 5: Fasten the holding screw to fix the control board in place.
Step 6: Replace the PC’s cover.
Step 7: Power on the PC. The BIOS will automatically set the IRQ and I/O address.
Step 8: Proceed with the software installation discussed in the next chapter, “Software Installation.”

Uninstalling the Driver
We will take Window 7 (x64) as an example. Its procedure is similar to the other Windows platforms with regard to
installing, configuring, checking the port status, removing, or uninstalling the PCI Express cards.
Installing the Driver
In this section, we describe how to install the PCI Express cards for the first time with Windows 7. First, make
sure that you have already plugged the board or boards into the system’s PCI Express slot(s).
Second, you may download the drivers at www.moxa.com

If you are using CP-118EL-A, CP-114EL, CP-114EL-I, CP-132EL, or CP-132EL-I, select Interface (RS-232,
RS-422, RS-485-2W, or RS-485-4W) and Termination Resistor (120Ω, Enable, or Disable) for configuration.
For illustration purposes, we use the CP -114EL.
The following figure shows the settings for configuring the port for RS-422 and disabling Termination Resistor.
2. Click OK to save the port settings and then click OK in the Property window to finish the port settings
procedure.
Checking the Status
The PComm Diagnostic program is a useful tool for checking the status of Moxa’s multiport serial boards. The
program can be used to test internal and external IRQ, TxD/RxD, UART, CTS/RTS, DTR/DSR, etc. Use this
program to ensure that your Moxa boards and ports are working properly.
