Pci Serial Card 2-ports Rs232 Driver
Rosella Brain
I have a PCI serial RS-232/485 isolated 2 port card on my computer. I installed the card and then the software but my computer has never recognized that there is a card in the PCI slot. Because this card is old I also tried to install the older versions of the serial software but it did not help. I have a Windows 7 x32bit computer and other PCI cards were installed in the same slot before this one so I know the slot works. The card was built long before Windows 7 and I don't know if they are compatible. I was wondering if there was any way to force the computer to recognize the hardware or if there is a way to check to see if the card still works.
It is possible that the card is too outdated. However, I am wondering if you can see the card at all in the windows device manager. Basically I am wondering if the card does not appear at all in device manager, or if it appears as an unrecognized card.Please let me know.
NI has never sold a PCI board with both RS-232 and RS-485 ports, so am I correct in assuming that this is not a National Instruments product? If so, you should contact the board's manufacturer to find out if a driver is available. While it is possible to force Windows to attempt to load a different driver, this typically will not work unless you know with absolute certainty that the driver you are forcing is actually compatible.
If it is a PCI card and you have a Windows 7 compatible version of NI-Serial installed, it should work in Windows 7. If this is actually an ISA card, then there is no driver available to make it work on Windows 7. Could you post the model number of the card? It will look something like 123456A-01.
Well, that is a PCI-485 which should work fine in Windows 7. Which version of NI-Serial is installed? If you are sure you have a current version, I would recommend that you see if this board works in another machine. If it won't work in any machines, it may need to be replaced.
ACCES offers USB data acquisition and control in standard and embedded/OEM USB/104 board-only options. These USB DAQ devices are perfect for a variety of applications requiring monitoring, control, or industrial serial communications. Over 100 different models and options (including extended temperature) are available.
PCI Express Mini Card, commonly abbreviated as mPCIe, or Mini PCIe, is a newer form-factor for PCI Express devices. Designed with the older Mini PCI standard in mind they are the same basic form-factor (commonly used in small-form-factor devices like laptops and other portables) but lack the retention clips of Mini PCI. Unlike the original PCI Express bus, Mini PCIe provides both the standard PCI Express and USB 2.0 signals, allowing flexibility in peripheral design. The standard is highly suitable for industrial automation and test in vehicle, mobile, or any other shock / vibration sensitive application.
A small form factor (3.6 x 3.8in) computer board intended for use in embedded PC systems, these rugged self stacking modules allow for an expandable system without the burden of a backplane with a fixed number of slots.
Our products are designed to cover the most common industry applications. Full selection of analog, digital, and serial I/O products with Ethernet connectivity allows for easy simple to use data acquisition and control.

Analog Output boards are useful when you need an output where the condition is not just an on or off state. Analog Output boards convert digital values generated by software into the analog voltage or current signals required for controlling frequency inverters, valves, sliders, brightness of lights, or things controlled by motors and other mechanical transducers.
Digital I/O products fit into many applications. In many cases, we only need to know whether something is true or false, on or off, in one position or another. A Digital Input can determine what we need to know, and Digital Outputs let us control the real world, switching from one state to another.
Watchdog Cards offer excellent protection against CPU malfunctions at a low cost. These products can continuously monitor your critical PC functions (software and hardware) and if an error occurs, the card automatically generates outputs that can be used to initiate corrective actions, generate alarms, or reboot your computer.
Wireless I/O enables you to monitor, acquire and process data from remote sensors, or control analog or digital outputs, all this over a wireless serial communications link. With just a single serial port on your PC, you can control up to 255 of our Wireless I/O Pods. Eliminate costly cable repairs. Spend less time and money.
Screw terminal accessories include adapters, boards, cards, connectors, etc. Some products can be used with other digital or analog ACCES I/O cards and can be easily mounted to a panel or plate, or for desktop development.
ACCES provides a broad range of connectivity options for our remote distributed I/O products. These options include Wireless, USB, Standard RS-232, or Ethernet and allow for flexible connectivity for specific and unique applications.
The PCI-ICM-2S serial communications card can be installed in five-volt PCI-bus computer slots and provides effective communication on long lines in noisy environments. Data lines are opto-isolated from the computer and from each other to assure communication even when large common mode voltages and noise are imposed.
The card supports half-duplex and full-duplex communications in 2- and 4-wire cable connections. Half duplex allows traffic to travel in both directions, but only one way at a time. In full-duplex operation, data travels both ways at the same time. Most RS-485 communications use the half-duplex mode because only a single pair of wires needs to be used and installation costs are dramatically reduced. In RS-485 operation the driver must be enabled and disabled as needed to allow all cards to share a two wire or four wire cable. Control circuits on PCI-ICM-2S enable the driver when data are to be transmitted. When transmission is complete, the driver remains enabled for the transmission time of one additional character and then is automatically disabled. The receiver at that port is disabled during transmission time and then enabled at the completion of data transmission.
Our Data Acquisition devices also include a graphical setup utility that walks you through the process of configuring any option jumpers or switches on the device, as well as explaining a little about the various connectors present.
ACCES also offers Custom Software Services for our products. Our prices are unbelievably low, often as inexpensive as free! If you need something tweaked to support your needs, or an entire enterprise application developed from scratch, it is definitely worth your time to inquire with us, first.
ACCES has successfully partnered with Wind River to bring our entire line of PCI and PCI Express Serial Communication cards to VxWorks 7! All ACCES plug-and-play serial cards are now supported with our VxWorks driver, including RS232, RS422, RS485 (2- and 4-wire) and baud rates up to 10Mbps.
If you need to create serial ports in a desktop computer and you have a motherboard which has an available PCI slot then using a serial PCI card is the best way to do this. Using a PCI card instead of for example a USB to serial adapter is better due to slightly lower latencies and less driver incompatibilities; the reason is because the card is connected in a more direct way to the motherboard. The disadvantage is that you need to open up your computer to install the serial PCI card and sometimes the driver software for the card does not offer as many adjustable COM port settings as for example a USB to serial adapter does.
This serial PCI Serial card high performance processor (MSC9865) from MosChip Technology/ASIX which provides superior performance and reliability compared to many other cards in this price range. The card adds two high-speed 9-pin RS232 serial COM ports to any PCI equipped computer with drivers available for DOS,Windows 98, 2000, XP, Vista and 7 32/64-bit.
After installing the downloadable drivers the created COM ports will automatically show up in your operating system's Device Manager as two additional ports. Since these ports are PCI based they can be used as if it was standard built-in COM ports.
Both RS232 serial ports share same IRQ which saves valuable resources if other expansion cards are used. Easy Plug and Play installation automatically configures the next available COM port and IRQ address. COM ports can also easily be renamed within your operating system's Device Manager.
