Introduction
Connect Tech's Xtreme/104-Express multi-port serial boards provide a fully compliant PCI/104- Express communications solution for industrial and embedded needs.
Xtreme/104-Express features a built-in baud rate prescaler to allow almost any non-standard baud rate to be matched with a high level of accuracy. The onboard fail-safe 1/8th load transceivers allow up to 256 devices on a multi-drop RS-485 bus. Filtering on all ports help improve immunity to EMI and noisy transmission lines for guaranteed dependability in communications.
The Xtreme/104-Express is perfect for military, aerospace, medical, instrumentation and industrial control applications, among others. Full industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) operation is standard.
