Advantech’s distributed motion control series are categorized into two groups – master cards and slave modules. While the master card is kept in the host PC, the slave modules can be distributed so that they are next to motor drives on the factory floor. The PCM-3202I is a 2-port RS-485 PCI-104 master card with many features.

The PCM-3202I PCI-104 interface card supports two independent AMONet (Advantech Motion Network) RS-485 master rings with each ring controlling up to 2048 I/O points, 256 axes, or a combination of I/O points and axes for motion control. The PCM-3202I allows direct data transfer between master and slaves without any operations in between. This customized solution saves wires, covers long distances, and supports high-speed real-time communications. The PCM-3202I supports transfer rates up to 20 Mbps and a maximum communication of up to 100 meters, creating a high-speed network. Additionally, there’s an alternative model to the PCM-3202I, the PCM-3202P, which has all the features of the PCM-3202I but also has an ISA connector for legacy connections.
