Smartio—The Smart Multiport Async Solution

The Smartio Series of multip or t s eri al bo ard s includ e s 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 s er ial bo ard s 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 connec t 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 interf er e nc e . This mea ns that it is not neces s ary to write ex tra code for Windows applications to control the hal f -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 auto mation applications that require a long distance, multi-point, PC-based data acquisitio n 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 iso lates the da ta from dangerous increases in ground potential, ground loops, and electri c al 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, ple a se refer to Cha p ter 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. Optic al is olation (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 install e d .

Universal PCI Board Introduction

1-4

When configuring two or more CP-102UF boards installed in the same computer, please pay attentio n to the model names of the boards. The two models can be recognized by the type of connector on the board. Model CP

CP-102UF

The onboard DIP switches are used to configure the CP-102UF for “Ring mode” or “Nor mal”. Whe n us ing the CP-102UF board, your PC can be included as one node of a fiber ring formed using Moxa’s own TCF-142 serial-to-fiber converter. Since each TCF-142 has two fiber ports and one serial port, PCs that are part of the ring will be able to communicate with serial devic es conne cted to the ring. Note that the Tx port of the CP-102UF connects to a neighboring converter’s Rx port to form the ring. When one node trans mits a signal, the signal travels around the ring until it returns back to the transmitting unit, w hi c h then blocks the signals .

-102UF-M uses plastic ST connectors, whereas model CP-102UF-S uses metal ST connectors.

Windows NT supports up to 256 serial ports, from COM1 to COM256. Moxa developed pure 32-bit Windows device drivers in order to fully utilize the advanced multi-process and multi-thread features of Windows NT. The drivers conform to the Win32 COMM API standard.

You can download the drivers from the Moxa website. For information on developing your own serial programming applications, please refer to Chapter 9.

Before installing the software, be sure to install the hardware first. For details on installing the hardware, please refer to Chapter 2.

Installing the Driver

You will need to plug the board in an available PCI or PCI-X slot first, before installing the driver. Note that these instructions use the CP-168U as an example. The procedure for installing all mo de ls is the same.

1. Log into Windows NT as Administrato r. Locate the appropriate folder for your board’s drivers on the Document & Software CD. The NT drivers will

be located under the product folder in the \Software\WinNT directory (e.g., under \CP-118U Series\Sof tw a re). Co py this folde r to the PC’s hard disk and remember its location.

In the Control Panel, open Network applet. On the Adapters tab, click Add. When prompted to select a product, click Have Disk…

You will be prompted to enter the path to the driver. Enter the location of the drivers that you copied from the Document & Software CD (C:\Windows.nt in this example) and then click OK.

2. When prompted, select your board model (Smartio/Indust io Fa mil y mu lt iport board in this example) and click OK.
