to share the load off the host system. To provide port expandability,
dual CPU architecture is introduced to make it feasible and
reliable. Features and benefits are:
- High performance with low system overhead
- Port expandable to grow with system
- Distance extendible with cluster layout
- High availability in major OS
Smartio Multiport Family
The Smartio family aims at communication applications that are
for smaller systems with merely 4 or 8 communication ports but

multiport application, PC-based machine, small Internet Server,
and so on. Features and benefits are:
- No data loss at high speed
- High reliability with less system down time
- Compact size to fit any PC cabinet
- Easy installation and maintenance
- COM compatibility
Industio Multiport Family
To provide excellent solutions for industrial automation
and data acquisition applications, Industio products are highly
reliable and robust to meet the harsh and severe industrial
environment. Features and benefits are:
- High reliability with less system down time
- ADDC smartness for easy RS-485 programming
- Compact size to fit any PC cabinet
