The CP-134U Series from Moxa is a robust 4-port serial board designed for industrial automation scenarios that demand long-distance, multipoint data acquisition via RS-422/485 communication. Two ports also support RS-232, while all four can be used for RS-422/485, making it highly versatile in mixed environments.
With the onboard Moxa Turbo Serial Engine™, the board offers ADDC® (Automatic Data Direction Control), high throughput over 700 kbps, and smooth data handling via a 128-byte FIFO buffer. The “-I” version features 2 kV isolation for enhanced protection against electrical disturbances, while a wide-temperature model supports operation in extreme environments (-40 to 85 °C).
Comprehensive driver support for Windows, Linux, and UNIX platforms ensures seamless integration into both legacy and modern systems.
