Product Overview
The Intellicon-NT960/PCI is a high performance intelligent
multi-port subsystem that allows you to connect up to 128 serial
devices through one expansion slot.
The Intellicon-NT960/PCI subsystem consists of the following
components:
Intellicon-NT960/PCI Host Adapter
Intellicon-NT960/PCI ACM/16, ACM/16RJ or ACM/Flex16,
power supply, and bus cable
Intellicon-NT960/PCI Device Drivers
Intellicon-NT960/PCI Host Adapter
The NT960/PCI Host Adapter provides the high-speed interface
between a host computer and an external ACM/16, ACM/16RJ or
ACM/Flex16 communication module. The NT960/PCI Host
Adapter off loads from the host computer the task of managing
the serial communication component of an application. The
Intellicon-NT960/PCI Host Adapter includes features such as:
Connects up to eight ACM/16, ACM/16RJ and/or
ACM/Flex16 modules giving you a total of 128 asynchronous
RS-232 and/or RS-485/422 and/or 20mA Current Loop serial
ports out of one slot.
1MB of dual ported SRAM for data and program storage.
System requirements are one 3.3V, 5V or universal PCI bus
compatible expansion slot; one available interrupt, one
available 2MB memory segment which is assigned by the
Plug and Play system.
