PMC450

Serial Controller PMC (RS422)

The PMC450 is a FPGA-based 8 channel RS422 serial PMC card with front and rear I/O.
The standard configuration consists of a PCI-core and eight 16C550-uart compatible cores. With the 32 onboard RS422 transceivers 8 serial RS422 channels (Rx, Tx, RTS and CTS) are created. The PMC450 features a 68-pin high dense connector at the front for the connection of all the RS422 channels. A PIM (PMC I/O Interface) for rear I/O is optional. Usage in ruggedised systems with conductive cooling is also possible.
Because of the fully FPGA-based design, custom protocol interfaces for RS422 and RS485 are available on request. Examples of custom specific protocol interfaces are e.g. Serial I/O, Encoder Interfaces, Stepper Motor Controllers and more.
