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 softw are f low contro l, 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 transmissio n speeds of up to 921 .6 Kbps .

Universal PCI Board Introduction

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

Universal PCI

For maximum compatibility with the PCI local bus spe c ific ati o n, U PCI board s suppo rt 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 w ith mos t major ind us trial 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, Vi s ual C++, Bor l and Delphi, a nd more.
Utilities are included for debugging, monitor ing communic a tio n s tatus , te rminal emulation, and file transfer.

Applications

UPCI boards are suita b le for many ind us trial applications, including the following:

• Multipoint data acquisition

• Factory automation

• Critical industrial control

• Remote serial device control

• Internet/intranet connecti o ns

• Remote access applications

• Multi-user applications

• Industrial automation

• Office automation

• Telecommunications

• PC-based vending machines or kiosk systems

• POS (Point-of-Sale) systems

Package Checklist

UPCI boards are shipp ed with the following items:

• 1 Moxa UPCI multiport serial board

This chapter explains the hardwar e installati o n p rocedure 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 4 UPCI boards in one system, as long as sufficient I/O address and IRQ number resources are available.

NOTE

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.
