RS-232/422/485 Serial Ports

The IA261-CE computer comes with 4 high performance serial ports, named “COM1:”, “COM2:”,

“COM3:” and “COM4”.

And the IA262-CE computers has 2 high performance serial ports only named “COM1:” and

“COM2:” all of them are designed to provide reliability, high-speed and 3-in-1 (i.e., RS-232,

RS-422, and RS-485) operation mode switch for your diverse applications. Each of these ports

supports baud rate settings up to 921600 bps.

CAN Ports (IA262 Only)

The IA262-CE computer embedded two CAN ports.

The CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication protocol, which efficiently

supports distributed real-time control with a very high level of security. It is especially suited for

networking “intelligent” devices as well as sensors and actuators within a system or sub-system. In

CAN networks, there is no addressing of subscribers or stations in the conventional sense, but

instead prioritized messages are transmitted. As a stand-alone CAN controller, IA262-CE

represents an economic solution within two independent CAN bus communication ports with a

9-pin D-sub connector. It can be used as master/slave function to cover a wide range of CAN

applications.
