This pc will house an A/B 1784pktx card, Siemens CP1613 card, running Windows NT4.0 workstation, Wonderware Intouch 7.1 with the A/B ktx I/O server, Siemens H1CP1413 I/O server, and Omniserve. I intend to pick up information from 4 A/B SLC5-04 and 2 Panelview 550's on the DH+ side. From 2 scales with RS-232 out I'll pick the information up using Descartes Omniserver program. Wonderware will pull the data into tags to serve up to an Industrial SQL server as well as then write the data through the CP1613 to a Siemens S5 PLC. I also desire in the future to add two more serial ports to grab info from a couple of metallurgical testers that are RS-232.
For display, I need to use an LCD panel, as the pc will be in an area that has extreme EMF.
The reason I ask is that in the past, I've seen that the AB 1784pktx card came with a warning to not use in machines with a processor over 500 mHz. I also see that the current offerings from Dell in the Optiplex line features half pci slots and they seem to be phasing out the DB9 com ports.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
