PCI Express The
PCI Express serial interface is capable
of transmitting data at the rate of 2.5
GHz. This extremely high rate of data transmission
is achieved by transmitting data bit-by-bit
over "lanes" that consist of 2
pairs of wires (2 wires for transmitting
and 2 wires for receiving).
Multiple lanes are combined to create a
PCI Express link, with the number of lanes
used to label the connection by writing
x1, x2, x4, x12, x16, or x32. Note that
each lane uses 4 wires (e.g., a PCI Express
x1 board uses 4
wires, and a PCI Express x16 board uses 64 wires). PCI Express x1 boards can be installed in x1, x2, x4, x12, x16, and x32 slots. This means that you can install Moxa's PCI Express x1 boards in any PCI Express slot. Moxa's PCIe solutions comply with PCI Express Spec. 1.1, which can be compliant with PCI Express 2.0 specification.
ADDC® (Automatic Data Direction Control) for RS-485
Moxa's uniquely patented ADDC® makes it easier to manage 2-wire RS-485 half-duplex connections, eliminating the need for software interference. This means that it is not necessary to write extra code for Windows applications to control the half-duplex protocol. ADDC® intelligence is built into Moxa PCI Express Boards.
Low Profile Low Profile is
a standard for space-constrained system
designs. The PCI SIG has defined card height
for the Low Profile standard at 65mm (2.56
in). Moxa provides PCIe Low Profile solutions
(except for CP-102E) that fit any computer
size.
