Overview
Overview

The Intellio C218Turbo series is specifically designed for small but performance demanding applications. With its state-of-the-art ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), on-board RISC processor (TI TMS320), and large I/O buffer (512 KB), the C218Turbo is a world class I/O serial board. It can maintain a sustained 230.4 Kbps throughput on all eight ports simultaneously while only occupying 5% of the host's processor time*, freeing up more host resources for other tasks. This feature is particularly applicable to fast response demanding industrial control applications, and high speed telecommunication applications.

* The benchmark was set using the Equinox ComTach program on a Pentium-233 platform running Windows NT 4.0.
