Hilscher 2 Port Mini PCI Express RS485 Network Card, 12Mbps

This PC card provides a Compact communication Interface for industrial systems, delivering serial connectivity via a mini PCI Express form factor. It is designed to integrate into automation and control equipment where robust two‑wire serial networks are required, enabling connectivity between controllers and field devices at industrial sites.

• Two independent RS485 ports for separate serial networks
• Mini PCIe connection for direct motherboard integration
• Network throughput rated at 12 Mbps for accelerated data exchange
• Two‑port arrangement reduces need for additional expansion hardware
• Conforms to recognised safety and environmental marks for installation

• Suitable for connecting PLCs to RS485 field buses on factory floors
• Ideal for serial link extension in automation controllers
• Used with industrial PCs requiring dual‑port serial interfaces
• Can be used for bridging RS485 networks in process control systems

It employs differential RS485 signalling on two separate ports, supporting multidrop topologies and balanced transmission for noise resilience.

It plugs into a mini PCI Express slot to provide a board‑level serial expansion solution without external cabling to a host adapter.

It carries UKCA, CE, UL and RoHS designations, indicating compliance with a range of regional safety and material‑restriction standards.

Both ports operate independently, permitting concurrent transactions on separate RS485 networks for parallel device control.
