The PCIe to 8 Ports RS422-485 Serial Card – NX-PCE358A-8S is a high-performance serial controller designed for demanding industrial and commercial applications. This card delivers 8 independent RS422/RS485 serial ports through a single PCI Express interface, ensuring broad connectivity with reliable data transmission. It is ideal for connecting sensors, instruments, industrial controllers, and other serial devices to your PC or server.

Compliant with PCIe 2.0 Gen 1 specifications, the The PCIe to 8 Ports RS422-485 Serial Card supports a dual simplex x1 link at 2.5Gbps per direction. Each port supports transmission speeds of up to 921600bps and includes automatic data flow direction control. The card accommodates asynchronous point-to-point or point-to-multipoint (half and full duplex) communication with support for twisted-pair or shielded cable media. Built-in TVS protection safeguards each port from up to 400W surge voltage and ±20kV electrostatic discharge, making it suitable for use in electrically harsh environments.

This PCIe to 8 Ports RS422-485 Serial Card also features UART support for 7 or 8 data bits, various stop bit/parity settings, and full software/hardware flow control. Its load capacity supports up to 32 connected RS-422/RS-485 devices per port, making it perfect for data acquisition, SCADA systems, and automation equipment. The extended temperature tolerance of -40°C to 85°C further enhances its utility in rugged deployments.
