The Sealevel Systems SIO-530 provides the PC with a selectable RS-232/530/422/485/20mA Current Loop Asynchronous interface to data collection and other devices. Programmable controllers, data entry terminals and time clocks are some devices that utilize RS-422/485. Industrial and networking applications requiring long distance (up to 5000 ft.) or multi-drop communications are easily accommodated with the SIO-530. We include our Advanced COM drivers for Windows 95/98/NT and 2000 providing IRQ sharing, Windows serial diagnostics, and other enhanced features. Our Linux and QNX utilities are also included to simplify installation.
