Control external serial hardware over RS232, RS422, RS485, and more with NI serial interface devices
NI serial interface devices offer several options for connecting to serial hardware. Customers can choose from Ethernet, USB, PCI, PCIe, or ExpressCard interfaces to add up to 16 serial ports to a system. Users can choose from common serial protocols such as RS232, RS422, and RS485. The serial interface device also offers various isolation, hyperthreading, and multiprocessor compatibility options. Some models also support 4- and 2-wire transceiver modes for full- and half-duplex communication. NI serial interfaces appear as standard COM ports for compatibility with programs that use serial communications.
