PCI Communication cards - First generation
Introduction
During the years 2006 - 2007, the TEDIA PCI communication cards had been revised. The first generation cards had been intended only for Conventional 5V PCI bus.
The second generation cards are intended for Conventional 5V PCI bus (i.e. classic 32-bit bus) or 3.3V bus (usually 64-bit PCI bus) and PCI-X (high-performance variant of 64-bit PCI designed for servers). The newly revised cards are labelled as "U" (universal) and they may be used in all PCI slots (3.3V and/or 5V).
Below you can find the overview of the discontinued cards with the actual availability and suggestions for the second generation replacement types. You may also use new PCI Express communication cards.
PCI-1222, PCI-1224
Availability:end of life, see replacement PCI-1222U, or PCI-1224U
Download: user manual and drivers
The PCI-1222/1224 PCI cards are based on the Oxford Semiconductor controller OX16PCI954 that provides PCI bus interface, 4 efficient UARTs (16C950 standard) and parallel interface in one circuit.
The first two ports in the PCI-1224 (or both ports in the PCI-1222 card) lead to the D-Sub 9 connectors, located on the card mounting bracket, the other two ports are accessible via the expansion card, fitted with the interface circuits located in the next slot. The expansion card is included. The ports provide full modem control signals and standard D-Sub 9 pin layout.
The remarkable feature is a presence of several LED indicators on the card mounting bracket (a pair for every port), providing a comfortable check of the line activity..

PCI-1472, PCI-1474
Availability: end of life, see replacement PCI-1472U, or PCI-1474U
Download: user manual and drivers
The PCI-1472/1474 PCI cards are based on the Oxford Semiconductor controller OX16PCI954 that provides PCI bus interface, 4 efficient UARTs (16C950 standard) and parallel interface in one circuit.
Like any other TEDIA products, the RS-422/485 output circuits provide surge protection (TVS diodes) and termination impedances with fail-safe bias resistors, as advised by many standards (e.g. Profibus).
Compared to the ordinary solutions with external resistors, the built-in termination impedances are easier to use, as they lead out to the independent pins at the D-Sub 9 connector and the connection of the neighbor pins at the lead-in cable connector is sufficient for their use.
The first two ports in the PCI-1474 (or both ports in the PCI-1472 card) lead to the D-Sub 9 connectors, located on the card mounting bracket, the other two ports are accessible via the expansion card, fitted with the interface circuits located in the next slot. The expansion card is included.
The ports are (unlike all other RS-422/485 TEDIA communication cards) optically isolated.
The remarkable feature is a presence of several LED indicators on the card mounting bracket (a pair for every port), providing a comfortable check of the line activity.
