Introduction
Connect Tech’s Titan/cPCI and Titan/cPCI Rear I/O adapters are high performance multi-port
serial adapters that allow you to connect up to 4 serial devices through one expansion slot.
Titan/cPCI adapters provide the high-speed interfaces between a host computer’s CompactPCI
bus and multiple external serial devices.
You must have the corresponding number of Titan/cPCI serial ports installed in the front I/O in
order to use a Titan/cPCI Rear I/O or Titan/cPCI Rear I/O Opto adapter in your system.
Titan/cPCI Rear I/O and Rear I/O Opto adapters provide the high-speed interfaces between a
host computer’s rear I/O CompactPCI bus and multiple external serial devices. Please note that
when you have a Titan/cPCI Rear I/O adapter installed the corresponding number of ports
in the front I/O section are not available.
Features:
● Two or four asynchronous serial ports from one slot
● RS-232 and RS-422/485 interfaces
● Full RS-422/485 support in the following modes:
Full Duplex Mode
Half Duplex Mode
Multi-drop Slave Mode
● 16C950 UARTs
● Independent baud rate selection per port offering baud rates from 50 bps to 1.8342 Mbps
(RS-422/485) or 230.4 Kbps (RS-232), with 5, 6, 7 or 8 data bits and 1, 1.5, 2 stop bits, odd,
even, mark and space parity
● TransGuard Transient Voltage Suppression (surge suppression – IEC 1000-4 compatible),
able to withstand multiple strikes on every signal of every port (not available on the Rear
I/O Opto model)
● CompactPCI rear I/O capability (Please contact your Connect Tech Sales representative for
further information concerning the available rear I/O options for your Titan/cPCI adapter)
● Jumper selectable +5 V DC or +12 V DC output on pin 6 of the DB-9 connector (available
on Titan/cPCI Rear I/O adapters only)
● Each port is independently optically isolated to 3.0kV AC peak to peak (Titan/cPCI Rear
I/O Opto models only)
● Ability to install any number of Titan/cPCI adapters that your system can accommodate(For
Rear/IO, you can install up to the same number of Titan/cPCI Rear I/O and Rear I/O Opto
serial ports as Titan/cPCI serial ports already installed in your system.)
