Description
The GPIB-120A is an expander/isolator designed for GPIB systems, conforming to the IEEE 488.1 standard. It significantly enhances GPIB system capabilities by allowing for the expansion of connected devices from 15 to a total of 28, effectively widening the scope of any setup. This product supports various part numbers including 776564-01 through 776564-06, catering to a range of specific requirements.
One of the key features of the GPIB-120A is its ability to double the cable limit from the standard 20 meters, providing greater flexibility in system design and setup. Additionally, it operates with an isolation voltage of 60 V, with a breakdown isolation reaching up to 1600 V, ensuring safety and reliability in high-voltage environments.
The GPIB-120A is compatible with Amphenol or Cinch series 57 Microribbon or Amp Champ type connectors, offering versatility in connection options. It is also equipped with 7 LED indicators for monitoring the Active Controller and System Controller status, among other functionalities, simplifying troubleshooting and system checks.
Furthermore, the device boasts 16 signal lines, including 5 for interface management, 3 for handshake, and 8 for data lines, ensuring comprehensive control and communication capabilities. It operates on a 27 VA power requirement, optimizing energy consumption while maintaining efficient performance.
Notably, the GPIB-120A utilizes Transparent Software, enabling seamless integration and operation within GPIB systems without the need for extensive software modifications or configurations. This feature underscores the device’s user-friendly nature, making it an ideal solution for expanding and isolating GPIB systems.
