Description

THIS PRODUCT IS OBSOLETE DUE TO LACK OF COMPONENT AVAILABILITY. PLEASE MIGRATE TO 7402ec.

The 7402e low profile PCI Express serial interface provides four serial ports, each individually field-configurable for RS-422 or RS-485 communications. The board uses a 16C954 UART with 128-byte Tx/Rx FIFOs that enables data rates to 921.6K bps for reliable high-speed communications in data-intensive applications. This high-performance UART includes 9-bit framing support and is register compatible with legacy 16550 software applications. In addition, the board derives a 62.5 MHz clock from the PCI Express link. This ultra-high-speed clock is divided by a flexible 8-bit clock prescaler with 1/8 steps to provide support for the widest range of standard and non-standard baud rates.

In RS-485 mode the board provides automatic control of the RS-485 driver in hardware, eliminating the need for application software control. This allows the 7402e to be used with standard serial communications applications and removes the risk of bus contention and data corruption. Additionally, RS-485 network termination, critical to robust multi-drop communication, can be selectively added to the circuit via DIP-switches.

Sealevel SeaCOM software driver and utilities make installation and operation easy using Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems.

The 7402e is a PCI Express X1 board compatible with any low profile PCI Express slot. A standard profile bracket  is also included. The board ships with a 36-inch cable that terminates to four DB9M connectors.

    Review of the 7402ES
    We purchased and installed the SEALEVEL 7402ES RS485 card in our computer and then experienced some issues and the Sealevel tech support was very helpful in getting us up and running. Once we got everything properly setup the card has worked perfectly in various applications.
