Introduction
SUNIX IPC-E3204S, Industrial 4-port RS-232/422/485 PCI-Express Serial Card, allows users to expand four
RS-232/422/485 ports on PC-based system. Each serial port achieves data rates up to 921.6 Kbps and
utilizes UART with an on-chip 128-bytes hardware FIFO buffer for reliable, high-speed serial I/O. With SUNIX
patented Auto-Switching RS-422/485 and RS-485 AHDC™ technology, user can easily manage different
serial interfaces selection and RS-485 signal direction control. SUNIX IPC-E3204S board is provided with
2KV IEC6100-4-5 Level 3 Surge Suppressor and 15KV IEC61000-4-2 ESD Discharge Transceiver. Besides,
board supports a wide variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, DOS, and UNIX. It is the best
serial communicating solution for industrial and harsh environment applications.

Auto Carrier Sense (ACS™) technology will check the status of RS-485 communication bus. If the bus is idle,
it starts transmission. If the bus is not idle (some data flows in the bus), then it will postpone the transmission
of UART until the bus is idle. Due to the reduction of TX/RX packet conflicting on RS-485 one-way traffic bus,
it will enhance better system performance and RS-485 communication ability. SUNIX recommend enabling
this feature.
AHDC/CS™ Technology
Since RS-485 is bidirectional which means the driver is turned on only when it needs to transmit some data,
otherwise it is floating. SUNIX developed a new design to control the direction of driver (On or off)
automatically which is called Auto Hardware Direction Control/Carrier Sense. AHDC/CS™ works on the same
principle and only turns on the driver when UART needs to transmits some data; but the advantage is that
AHDC/CS™.
Auto Hardware Direction Control (AHDC™) technology makes it easier to manage 2-wire RS-485 half-duplex
communications, eliminating the need for software interference. User does not necessary to write extra code
for Windows applications to control the half-duplex protocol. Auto Hardware Direction Control (AHDC™)
technology is the key feature of SUNIX UART, and this function is default enabling.
