2 Introduction

1 Overview

VScom provides several models of serial port cards for the classic PCI bus. This bus will be replaced

by PCIe in the future, but it is still suﬃcient for many cards with low system demand. Serial and

parallel ports are examples of such devices. VScom has developed PCI serial and parallel cards since

the PCI bus entered the market, and now oﬀers models ranging from one to eight serial ports. The

cards are designed to control industrial hardware via asynchronous serial ports, as many software

requires today. There are also models with one and two parallel ports.

The VScom UPCI cards are designed universal, they operate in the classic 5V signaling environ-

ment, as well as 3.3V PCI slots. Even the slightly newer PCI-X bus slots may be used to install and

operate the card and the ports. Some models are restricted to 5V PCI slots for electrical reasons.

The supplied drivers for Windows operating system install the ports into the Windows API, so

they appear as the usual Com and LPT ports software requires. A rich set of driver options is

conﬁgured via the Device Manager in Windows. The driver allows to conﬁgure the serial ports for

a bitrate of up to 3.6 Mbps. Of course RS 232 can not reliably transport very high bitrates, even

under best conditions 1 Mbit/s is the limit. As the result of the very high maximum bitrate, there

is no bitrate below 1 Mbit/s which the cards can not generate. No matter which conﬁguration the

hardware requires, the VScom UPCI H-series cards deliver it.

2 Introduction

This manual describes the hardware of VScom UPCI H-series cards. UPCI is the name used in

VScom products for Universal PCI products. Also the Windows driver for these cards is described

in detail.

2.1 Features

•Universal PCI 33 MHz

•Serial port interface RS 232

•Max 3.6 Mbps

•Huge FIFO buﬀers 128 Byte

•Drivers for Windows™operating system

•Supported by Linux

2 Introduction

2.2 Product Speciﬁcations

The VScom UPCI cards share some common properties, the most important diﬀerence is the

number of serial and parallel ports. The maximum speed is 3.6 Mbit/s, but this is theoretical

because the electrical interface RS 232 is not capable of such transmission rates.

Bus interface Universal PCI 5V and 3.3V signals, 33MHz

Serial Ports 0 to 8 RS 232

Signals RS 232 RxD, TxD, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD, RI, GND

Max. Bitrates Theoretical 3.6 Mbit/s

Eﬀective 1 Mbit/s

Serial conﬁgurations Data bits 5, 6, 7, 8

Parity None, Odd, Even, Mark, Space

Stop bits 1, 1.5, 2

FIFO size 128 Bytes For transmit and receive each

Parallel Ports 0 to 2 SPP, PS/2, EPP, ECP

2 Introduction

2.2.3 VScom 800H UPCI

The VScom 800H UPCI card features eight serial ports, available via a universal PCI slot. All

eight serial ports share one common connector DB62-female. For signal assignment see 6.1.

An adapter cable to eight times DB9-male is not provided, customers can choose from several

connection options. There are Octopus-type cables to DB9 and DB25, male and female. There are

also connection boxes for DB9 male, or DB25 male and female. Also converter boxes to RS 422

and RS 485 are possible.

Note: There is no RI signal, because no pins are available for this on the DB62 connector.
