Hilscher 2 Port PCI D sub, 9-Pin PCI Network Card

This PC card provides a serial communication expansion for industrial computers, offering dual 9-pin D-sub ports on a PCI Interface for integration into automation systems. It is designed to operate under Windows, QNX and Linux environments and connects external RS-232 devices via two standard male connectors. Certification marks indicate it meets common regional product standards for deployment in regulated installations.

• Two RS-232 ports enabling simultaneous dual-device communication
• PCI bus Interface ensuring direct host system integration
• D-sub 9-pin connectors for widespread serial device compatibility
• Supports Windows, Linux, QNX for multi‑OS deployment flexibility
• Complies with RoHS, CE and UKCA for regulatory conformance in installations

• Suitable for serial link to PLCs and legacy controllers in factories
• Ideal for connecting measurement instruments to PCs in test benches
• Used with HMI stations requiring additional serial I/O ports
• Can be used for bridging field devices to automation PCs via RS-232
• Suitable for retrofit projects adding serial ports to industrial PCs

Drivers and runtime support are available for Windows, QNX and Linux environments, enabling use across common industrial OS choices.

External equipment connects through two D-sub 9-pin sockets providing standard RS-232 signal lines for peripheral interfacing.

The host must provide a free PCI expansion slot to accommodate the card and enable communication via the PCI bus.

The card exposes two individual serial channels so two RS-232 devices can communicate concurrently.
