The Emerald-MM-Opto provides an integrated, rugged, and reliable solution for PC/104-expandable embedded systems requiring serial communications in demanding applications. It offers four optically isolated serial ports with RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 protocols, as well as 24 digital I/O lines, all on a single board.
Optical isolation of 1000V DC or AC protects your embedded system from ground differentials or noise spikes that would damage non-isolated boards. Each port is isolated from the other ports as well as the system. Extended temperature capability (-40 to +85ºC) enables the board to operate in vehicles such as trains and buses without concern for temperature swings. These features enable Emerald-MM-Opto to provide reliable serial communications in harsh environments such as trains and buses.
A 16C554 quad serial port IC is used for the serial ports. This chip supports data transfer rates up to 115kbps and contains a 16-byte programmable FIFO buffer for each port to minimize processor overhead.
