Description
The National Instruments GPIB-485CT-A GPIB Serial Controller is a highly versatile device designed to meet a broad range of user requirements. This controller is identified by several part numbers including 777146-01, 777146-02, 777146-03, 777146-04, 777146-05, 777146-06, 777147-01, 777147-31, 777148-01, 777148-02, 777148-03, 777148-04, 777148-05, 777148-06, 777149-01, and 777149-31, making it accessible for various setups and configurations.
It features a dual connection type system including RS-485 (9-pin shielded, standard D-sub male connector) and GPIB (24-pin, standard female connector with screw lock hardware) to ensure a broad compatibility with a wide array of devices. The power versions available for this controller include AC (with power cord receptacle) and DC (with DC power jack), offering flexibility in power sources depending on the user’s environment.
The device operates in two primary operation modes: G (listener and talker) and S (GPIB Controller), which can be set according to the specific needs of the task at hand. Configuration is made simple with DIP switches for mode, data format, baud rate, and GPIB address, allowing for easy setup and customization.
Supporting common communication protocols such as XON/XOFF and hardware handshake, the GPIB-485CT-A ensures reliable data transfer and communication with connected devices. Furthermore, its controller capabilities include handling continuous data from either GPIB or serial port and supporting requested and continuous error and status reporting in both numeric and symbol form, highlighting its adaptability and efficiency in various data handling scenarios.
