Multi-32/LPCIe is a serial communication card built around SB4002A and SB16C1058, powerful semiconductors developed by SystemBase. The SB16C1058 is a UART that integrates one of the largest transmit/receive FIFOs available, at 256 bytes, delivering overrun-free performance even at a communication speed of 921.6Kbps. It also has a range of built-in functions essential for serial communication, so no additional components are needed and the circuit can be built with a minimal parts count, resulting in high reliability. Multi-32/LPCIe is available in two models supporting RS232 and RS422/RS485 (Combo) interfaces, and is used across a wide range of applications, including office automation and factory automation.
Through a jumper setting, Multi-32/LPCIe can supply +5V or +12V externally via pin 9 of its DB9 connector, in place of the RI signal line. This approach, pioneered by SystemBase, makes it simple to power devices such as barcode readers directly from the card. This removes the need for a separate power adapter, reducing additional cost while providing a cleaner installation and significant maintenance benefits.
Multi-32/LPCIe provides an Auto Toggling function for RS422/RS485 communication. This feature helps prevent electrical conflicts between output signals when configuring an RS422 multi-drop network or operating on an RS485 network. Since this feature is supported in both hardware and software, it can be enabled with a simple setting in the setup screen.
Multi-32/LPCIe provides a Slew Rate Limiting function for RS422/RS485 interface communication. Slew Rate Limiting suppresses the electromagnetic emissions generated during data communication. In certain environments, noise produced during data communication can cause devices such as medical equipment to malfunction, or result in corrupted or incorrectly transmitted communication data. Slew Rate Limiting prevents such noise from occurring. When this function is enabled, however, the maximum communication speed is limited to 250Kbps. It is primarily used in EMI-sensitive environments such as hospitals and research facilities.
