Universal PCI card is a powered 2 port card, ideal for connecting and powering peripherals such as bar code readers, printers, card readers, display units and cash drawers. Both UP-880 and UP-869 are selectable power options. Ground or 12V can be selected on pin 1 of each port and also 12V or 5V can be selected on pin 9 of each port. Universal PCI is fully compatible with both 3.3Volt and 5Volt PCI slots; protecting your investment into the future.
The UP-880 and UP-869 are universal PCI cards that provide two powered RS‑232 ports with selectable voltage on pins 1 and 9. They support both 3.3 V and 5 V PCI slots and include Microsoft‑signed drivers for a wide range of Windows versions and Linux.
The handbook details pinout, power options, FIFO size, UART type, supported baud rates and data formats, as well as warranty, lifetime support, and compliance information such as PCI‑SIG 3.0 and CE/FCC certifications.
