Product Overview
The Intellicon-NT960/PCI is a high performance intelligent multi-port subsystem that allows you to connect up to 128 serial devices through one expansion slot.
The Intellicon-NT960/PCI subsystem consists of the following components:
Intellicon-NT960/PCI Host Adapter
Intellicon-NT960/PCI ACM/16, ACM/16RJ or ACM/Flex16, power supply, and bus cable
Intellicon-NT960/PCI Device Drivers
Intellicon-NT960/PCI Host Adapter
The NT960/PCI Host Adapter provides the high-speed interface between a host computer and an external ACM/16, ACM/16RJ or ACM/Flex16 communication module. The NT960/PCI Host Adapter off loads from the host computer the task of managing the serial communication component of an application. The Intellicon-NT960/PCI Host Adapter includes features such as:
Connects up to eight ACM/16, ACM/16RJ and/or ACM/Flex16 modules giving you a total of 128 asynchronous RS-232 and/or RS-485/422 and/or 20mA Current Loop serial ports out of one slot.
1MB of dual ported SRAM for data and program storage.
System requirements are one 3.3V, 5V or universal PCI bus compatible expansion slot; one available interrupt, one available 2MB memory segment which is assigned by the Plug and Play system.
