Hilscher 2 Port Mini PCI Express RS485 Network Card, 100Mbps

This is a Compact PC card designed to provide two-wire serial communication for industrial systems. It fits a mini PCI Express slot and delivers wired RS485 connectivity suitable for embedded controllers and automation hosts. The card enables integration of serial networks into devices that require a small-form-factor Interface while operating within recognised European standards.

• Two physical RS485 ports for multi-drop network connections
• 100Mbps network throughput supporting fast data exchange
• Mini PCIe bus Interface for direct embedded host attachment
• Conforms to CE, RoHS and UKCA requirements for regulatory acceptance
• Compact form factor minimising board space for dense systems

• Suitable for connecting distributed sensors in manufacturing plants
• Ideal for serial fieldbus links in machine control cabinets
• Used with embedded PCs for protocol conversion tasks
• Can be used for data acquisition from multiple RS485 devices

It offers two independent RS485 interfaces, enabling separate multi-drop segments or redundant paths.

The device uses a mini PCI Express Interface and must be mounted in a compatible mini PCIe slot.

The card supports network transfers up to 100 Mbps, permitting high-speed serial bridging within networked systems.

It carries CE, RoHS and UKCA markings indicating compliance with relevant regional directives and material restrictions.
