„ Titan/cPCI adapter
„ Cable harness (optional with four port models only)
„ Titan/cPCI device drivers
Titan/cPCI Adapters
Titan/cPCI adapters provide the high-speed interfaces between a
host computer’s CompactPCI bus and multiple external serial
devices. Titan/cPCI adapters include features such as:
Features
„ 2 or 4 asynchronous serial ports from one slot.
„ RS-232 and RS-485/422 interfaces.
„ Titan/cPCI offers full RS-485/422 support in hardware. The
modes are as follows:
Full Duplex Mode
Half Duplex Mode
Multi-drop Slave Mode
„ 16C950 UARTs control two or four ports.
„ Each port on a Titan/cPCI adapter has independent baud rate
selection offering baud rates from 50 bps to 1.8342 Mbps
(RS-485/422) 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.
„ Titan/cPCI adapters come with TransGuard  Transient
Voltage Suppression (surge suppression – IEC 1000-4
compatible), able to withstand multiple strikes on every
signal of every port.
