The SIO-104+16.485 is the industry’s first PC/104 module offering 16 RS-485 ports. The board suits a wide variety of military, commercial, and industrial applications.

The SIO-104+16.485 conforms to PC/104 specifications. It includes UARTs with 128-byte FIFOs for fast, error-free communications up to 921.6 kbps. To simplify RS-485 communication, the board automatically handles the RS-485 driver enable, allowing the RS­485 ports to be viewed by the operating system as standard COM ports. Interface is accomplished via a 40-pin header connector. Breakout cables and other accessories are available to facilitate rapid implementation.

SIO-104+16.485 boards ship with the SeaCOM suite of Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP drivers. A Windows CE .NET 5.0 driver is also available. WinSSD, a full-featured application providing testing and diagnostic capabilities, assists in development and troubleshooting. Use WinSSD for bit error rate testing, throughput monitoring, loop-back tests, and transmitting test pattern messages. Application notes and technical details to simplify installations in LINUX, QNX, and DOS are included. 

The modules (no. 3562) cost $349 each in low-volume quantities.
