4.If you are using Windows 3.1, you may want to use a high- speed COMM driver instead of the standard COMM driver shipped with Windows. (Do not make this change if you are using Windows for Workgroups.) In your Windows SYSTEM.INI file, replace the line in the [boot] section that reads

comm.drv=comm.drv

with

comm.drv=New High Speed Driver

Refer to your software vendor for a new high speed COMM driver. This is optional and will allow your Serial Card to perform reliably in Windows at higher speeds.

5.With your Serial Card inserted in a PCMCIA slot, it should now be configured and set up each time you turn on or reboot your PC. Note that since ENABLE.EXE is a Point Enabler, you will need to re-run the ENABLE command line with the appropriate switches each time your laptop goes to sleep or each time you remove and re-insert the Serial Card.

NOTE: The ENABLE.EXE program does not support all PCMCIA controller types out on the market. It will work on all controllers that are compatible with the Intel 82365 PCMCIA controller.

NOTE: The IBM 360 and 755/755C do not allow the range D000-D3FF to be used. We recommend using the range C800- CBFF instead.

Windows 9x Installation

To allow easy configuration of the 232HSPCC, a Windows 9x "INF" configuration file has been included on the distribution diskette. This file provides all of the setup information required by Windows 9x to allocate resources for the card.

The 232HSPCC installation procedure differs slightly between versions of Windows 9x. In either case, the first step is to supply Windows 9x with the .inf configuration files supplied on the 232HSPCC disk.

232HSPCC specifications

B&B Electronics 232HSPCC is a highly regarded serial communication device known for its efficiency and versatility. This product is especially recognized for facilitating reliable data transfer in various industrial applications, making it a favorite among engineers and technicians.

At the heart of the 232HSPCC is its ability to convert RS-232 signals to RS-422/485. This transition is essential for extending communication distances, allowing for transmission over significantly longer cables without degradation of the signal. While standard RS-232 communication is typically limited to 50 feet, the 232HSPCC reduces susceptibility to noise and enables distances of up to 4000 feet, making it ideal for factory automation, remote monitoring, and SCADA systems.

One of the standout features of the 232HSPCC is its robust design. This device is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, ensuring reliable performance in areas with high levels of electromagnetic interference. It operates efficiently over a wide temperature range, accommodating diverse application settings while maintaining stability.

The 232HSPCC supports data rates of up to 115.2 kbps, ensuring high-speed communication that meets the demands of modern industrial networks. Its compatibility with various protocols adds to its flexibility, allowing it to be integrated seamlessly with existing systems. With its simple dip-switch configuration and automatic RTS/CTS handshaking, setup is straightforward, reducing downtime during implementation.

Additionally, this device features built-in isolation, which protects connected devices from voltage spikes and surges, thereby enhancing reliability and longevity. The 232HSPCC is also equipped with diagnostic LED indicators that provide real-time feedback on the status of communication and power, facilitating easier troubleshooting.

The compact design of the 232HSPCC allows for easy installation in confined spaces, while its sturdy housing provides durability and protection. This makes it suitable for both panel mounting and standalone applications.

In summary, B&B Electronics 232HSPCC is a powerful, versatile, and reliable solution for serial communication needs. Its ability to convert RS-232 to RS-422/485, combined with robust environmental resilience, high data rates, and built-in isolation, makes it an invaluable tool for professionals seeking efficiency and reliability in their operations.
