Traditional PC Adapter Card Features PCI-AC48 RS-485 Serial Adapter Card Description The PCI-AC48 is an isolated, high-speed adapter card designed to link RS-485 serial devices, such as Opto 22's B3000 brains, with computers using the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus of today's personal computers. The PCI-AC48 is compatible with computers that feature a standard 33 MHz PCI bus. This adapter card is ideal for customers who have been using Opto 22's AC37 adapter card but must upgrade to a newer computer that uses the PCI bus rather than the ISA bus. Two RS-485 serial ports provide reliable communication. These ports can be used as two 2-wire ports or as one 4-wire port (twoand four-wire modes cannot be used at the same time). Buffering on the card prevents loss of data, and the serial communication lines and the adapter card itself are isolated from transient voltages. The adapter card also provides tri-state control in hardware, 64-byte FIFO, and 16550 UART-compatible registers. The PCI-AC48 adapter card requires 5 VDC @ 600 mA (provided by the PCI bus) and operates at temperatures of 0 C to 70 C. The card is configured using DIP switches. Six LEDs on the card indicate bus operation or user application status. Software Drivers Included software drivers for Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 2000 or Windows XP let applications access the adapter card ports as standard COM ports. Drivers are shipped with the adapter card and can also be downloaded from the Opto 22 Web site. For details on installing and using the PCI-AC48 card and drivers, see Opto 22 form #1520, the PCI-AC48 User's Guide. Traditional PC Adapter Card Compatible with standard 33 MHz PCI bus.

DATA SHEET Part Form 1519-060718 Part Numbers PAGE 1 Traditional PC Adapter Card misticTM Remote I/O and Optomux(R) I/O Traditional PC Adapter Card The PCI-AC48 adapter card supports communication to Opto 22 mistic remote I/O as well as Opto 22's Optomux I/O. A mistic remote I/O bus uses one twisted-pair cable for communication; however, a second pair can optionally be used in systems needing mistic interrupt capability. The communication cable must be terminated at both ends of the cable (the PCI-AC48 will usually be at one end). The communication cable must also be biased at one location only, typically also at the PCI-AC48 card. Bias and termination are set using DIP switches. Specifications Computer Interface 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI bus, PCI Specification Revision 2.2 Ports Two serial ports, configurable for the following: * Two ports when used in RS-485 2-wire mode, or * One port when used in RS-485 4-wire mode Isolation 2,500 VAC transient Communications RS-485 2-wire or 4-wire operation Baud Rates Serial link to 460,800 baud Cable Length Distance Up to 3,000 ft.

More About Opto 22 Products SNAP PAC Brains Opto 22 develops and manufactures reliable, flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software products for industrial automation, remote monitoring, and data acquisition applications. SNAP PAC System Designed to simplify the typically complex process of understanding, selecting, buying, and applying an automation system, the SNAP PAC System consists of four integrated components: * SNAP PAC controllers * PAC ProjectTM Software Suite * SNAP PAC brains * SNAP I/OTM While SNAP PAC controllers provide central control and data distribution, SNAP PAC brains provide distributed intelligence for I/O processing and communications. Brains offer analog, digital, and serial functions, including thermocouple linearization; PID loop control; and optional high-speed digital counting (up to 20 kHz), quadrature counting, TPO, and pulse generation and measurement. SNAP I/O I/O provides the local connection to sensors and equipment. Opto 22 SNAP I/O offers 1 to 32 points of reliable I/O per module, depending on the type of module and your needs. Analog, digital, serial, and special-purpose modules are all mixed on the same mounting rack and controlled by the same processor (SNAP PAC brain or rack-mounted controller). Quality SNAP PAC Controllers Programmable automation controllers (PACs) are multifunctional, multidomain, modular controllers based on open standards and providing an integrated development environment. Opto 22 has been manufacturing PACs for many years. The latest models include the standalone SNAP PAC S-series and the rackmounted SNAP PAC R-series. Both handle a wide range of digital, analog, and serial functions and are equally suited to data collection, remote monitoring, process control, and discrete and hybrid manufacturing. SNAP PACs are based on open Ethernet and Internet Protocol (IP) standards, so you can build or extend a system without the expense and limitations of proprietary networks and protocols. PAC Project Software Suite Opto 22's PAC Project Software Suite provides full-featured and cost-effective control programming, HMI (human machine interface) development and runtime, OPC server, and database connectivity software to power your SNAP PAC System. These fully integrated software applications share a single tagname database, so the data points you configure in PAC ControlTM are immediately available for use in PAC DisplayTM, OptoOPCServerTM, and OptoDataLinkTM. Commands are in plain English; variables and I/O point names are fully descriptive. PAC Project Basic offers control and HMI tools and is free for download on our website, www.opto22.com. PAC Project Professional, available for separate purchase, adds OptoOPCServer, OptoDataLink, options for Ethernet link redundancy or segmented networking, and support for legacy Opto 22 serial misticTM I/O units. Founded in 1974 and with over 85 million devices sold, Opto 22 has established a worldwide reputation for highquality products. All are made in the U.S.A. at our manufacturing facility in Temecula, California. Because we do no statistical testing and each part is tested twice before leaving our factory, we can guarantee most solid-state relays and optically isolated I/O modules for life.
