Abaco Systems / Ramix PMC422FP Eight Port Serial Controller

The Abaco Systems / Ramix PMC422FP is an eight-port serial controller designed for embedded systems, offering multiple serial communication channels on a single PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC). This card facilitates the integration of serial I/O into Single Board Computer (SBC), VMEbus, or CompactPCI systems, optimizing the use of available PMC slots. The PMC422FP supports various serial signaling types including RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 (in full or half duplex modes), with configurable line drivers set via on-board DIP switches.
