Both basic and multi-function ATMs rely on industrial PCs for the CPU, which controls the various peripherals through COM ports. Since typical PCs do not include enough built-in COM ports for every peripheral, ATM manufacturers need flexible and reliable COM port expansion solutions.  Ideal solutions will enhance system performance and communication with all devices. Support for various interfaces and a wide selection of port densities will help manufacturers develop ATM units with greater ease.

MOXA's serial expansion products provide the perfect solution for ATM device control. Many models of multiport serial board are offered for various slot interfaces (ISA, PCI, PCI-X, or PCI Express), form factors, and port densities. A complete line of USB-to-serial hubs is also available for thin-client PCs or when no slots are available. For both basic and multi-function ATMs, MOXA multiport serial boards and USB serial hubs provide high performance, enhanced connectivity, and reliable operation.

Multiport Serial Boards Easy solution for additional COM ports Better system performance due to reduced CPU loads Wide selection of slot interfaces, including PCI Express, Universal PCI, PCI, ISA and PC/104 interface boards RS-232/422/485 serial interfaces Wide selection of port densities from 2 to 32 ports Built-in 15 KV ESD isolation for protection of system High-speed serial communication up to 921.6 Kbps Driver support for multiple operating systems
