Most modern motherboards ship with one serial port or none at all, so this card is a simple way to keep PLCs, HMIs, barcode scanners, scales, modems and other legacy serial devices talking to a new PC or industrial computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt around SUNIX's own SUN2212 PuLao native PCIe UART controller, the card has a 128-byte hardware FIFO and on-chip automatic hardware flow control to prevent data loss. It meets PCI Express Base Specification 2.0 and, as an x1 card, fits x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slots. Every serial signal carries ±15 kV ESD protection to IEC 61000-4-2, and I\/O address and IRQ are assigned automatically by the BIOS for true plug-and-play installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDriver support is broad: WHQL-certified drivers for Windows XP through Windows 11 and Windows Server 2003 through 2022, plus Linux kernel 2.x to 6.x and DOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 independent RS-232 ports, DB9 male\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBaud rates from 50 bps up to 115.2 kbps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSUNIX SUN2212 PuLao native PCIe UART controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e128-byte hardware FIFO with automatic hardware flow control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePCI Express 2.0, x1 card — fits x1\/x2\/x4\/x8\/x16 slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e±15 kV ESD protection on all serial signals (IEC 61000-4-2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug-and-play — I\/O address and IRQ assigned by BIOS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWindows (WHQL), Linux and DOS drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterface: RS-232, 2 ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBus: PCI Express 2.0, single lane (x1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSignals: DCD, TxD, RxD, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, GND, RI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eData: stop bits 1\/1.5\/2; parity even\/odd\/none\/mark\/space\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlow control: none, Xon\/Xoff, RTS\/CTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eESD: ±15 kV HBM, ±15 kV air gap, ±8 kV contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature: 0 to 60 °C; humidity 5–95% RH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStorage temperature: −20 to 85 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePCB size: 65 x 88 mm; standard 121 mm full-height bracket, 1 slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApprovals: CE, FCC, VCCI, BSMI, RoHS, Microsoft WHQL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOS support: Windows XP\/Vista\/7\/8.x\/10\/11 (32\/64-bit), Windows Server 2003–2022, Windows Embedded\/POSReady, Linux 2.x–6.x, DOS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eTypical applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnecting PLCs, HMIs and drives to new PCs for programming and monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePOS and kiosk peripherals — receipt printers, scales, scanners, pole displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndustrial and embedded PCs needing extra COM ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplacing failed or missing onboard serial ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eShips with a standard full-height bracket.
