CP-118EL-A – 8-Port RS-232/422/485 PCIe Serial Board by Moxa

The CP-118EL-A from Moxa is an advanced 8-port PCI Express serial communication board engineered for demanding industrial applications including point-of-sale systems, ATM machines, and factory automation. This intelligent board provides exceptional flexibility by allowing each of its eight serial ports to be independently configured for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 communication in either 2-wire or 4-wire configurations. The board utilizes a 16C550C compatible communication controller paired with a generous 128-byte FIFO buffer, delivering reliable high-speed data transmission at baudrates up to 921.6 kbps with support for non-standard baudrates. Full modem control signals including TxD, RxD, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, and DCD ensure broad compatibility with diverse serial peripherals. The low-profile design and 3.3 VDC power requirement make the CP-118EL-A suitable for installations ranging from compact shoebox PCs to standard-sized computers. System integrators benefit from comprehensive operating system support spanning Windows versions from legacy systems through Windows Server 2019, multiple Linux kernel versions from 2.4.x through 5.x, and UNIX variants including Solaris 10 and SCO OpenServer. The VHDCI 68 connector interface supports various cable and connection box accessories for flexible deployment scenarios. Built-in transmit and receive LEDs for each port facilitate troubleshooting and system monitoring. With an impressive MTBF of over 1.3 million hours calculated per Telcordia standards, CE and FCC Class B certifications, and RoHS compliance, this board delivers enterprise-grade reliability. The operating temperature range of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius suits typical industrial environments. Available from Recab, your Nordic partner for Moxa serial communication solutions.
