Description
The GPIB Expander/Isolator, model GPIB-120A, is a sophisticated device designed to enhance the capabilities of GPIB systems. It comes with a variety of part numbers including 776564-01, 776564-02, 776564-03, 776564-04, 776564-05, and 776564-06, ensuring a wide range of options for users. Adhering to the IEEE 488.1 standard, this device is engineered to support a maximum of 28 devices, significantly expanding the potential of GPIB networks.
One of the key features of the GPIB-120A is its interface system which is based on the GPIB protocol, providing a reliable and efficient means of communication between devices. It requires no modification to the user’s application software, thanks to its transparent software requirement, making it incredibly user-friendly and easy to integrate into existing systems.
The device boasts the ability to double the standard GPIB cable length limit to 40 meters, enhancing the flexibility and reach of GPIB networks. It incorporates two busses, Bus A and Bus B, each with identical circuitry and complete isolation. This design ensures robust performance and reliability, with operating and breakdown isolations rated at 60 V and 1600 V, respectively.
Connectivity is facilitated through the use of Amphenol or Cinch series 57 Microribbon or Amp Champ type connectors, providing versatile and secure connections. The GPIB-120A is also equipped with 7 LED indicators for clear and immediate feedback on the status of various functions, such as Active Controller and System Controller, among others.
The device supports 16 signal lines, which include five interface management lines, three handshake lines, and eight data lines, ensuring comprehensive control and data transfer capabilities. Powering the GPIB-120A is efficiently managed with a typical requirement of 27 VA, making it both powerful and energy-efficient.
