Description

MOXA CP-118U 8 port UPCI RS232/422/485 serial board

Introduction

The Moxa CP-118U and CP-138U are smart, 8-port Universal PCI serial boards designed for POS and ATM applications, and for use by industrial automation system manufacturers and system integrators. Both boards are compatible with all major operating systems. In addition, the CP-118U’s 8 RS-232/422/485 ports and the CP-138U’s 8 RS-422/485 ports support data rates up to 921.6 Kbps, and provide full modem control signals to ensure compatibility with a wide range of serial peripherals. The CP-118U and CP-138U support both 3.3V and 5V PCI buses, making them suitable for installation in most PC servers.

Drivers provided for Windows and Linux

One of Moxa’s highest priorities is to provide drivers for all mainstream operating systems. Reliable, well-tested Windows COM and Linux/Unix TTY drivers are available for use with the CP-118U and CP-138U. Other operating systems, such as Windows XP embedded and WEPOS, are also supported to accommodate embedded integration applications.
