Description
The GPIB Serial Controller, known by its model GPIB-485CT-A, stands out within the GPIB category for its comprehensive integration and functionality. This device is designed to facilitate seamless communication and control within various computational and instrumentation setups, showcasing an array of 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, enabling a broad compatibility across different systems and requirements.
At the core of its connectivity capabilities, the GPIB-485CT-A features a dual-interface approach, incorporating an RS-485 (9-pin shielded, standard D-sub male connector) alongside a GPIB (24-pin, standard female connector with screw lock hardware). This dual-interface design not only enhances the device’s versatility but also ensures a reliable and secure connection for data transmission and device control.
The operational efficiency of the GPIB-485CT-A is further exemplified by its Operational Modes, which include both G (Listener/Talker) and S (GPIB Controller). This flexibility allows for a wide range of communication protocols and control schemes, tailored to meet the specific needs of the user’s application. Additionally, the device boasts a user-friendly configuration process, facilitated by DIP switches that manage mode configuration, data format, baud rate, and GPIB address, ensuring a customizable and intuitive setup.
Among its notable features, the GPIB-485CT-A supports XON/XOFF and hardware handshake communication protocols, which are critical for managing data flow and ensuring error-free communications. The device’s capability for continuous data acceptance from either GPIB or serial port, paired with its comprehensive error and status reporting, underscores its reliability and effectiveness in a variety of operational contexts.
Lastly, the GPIB-485CT-A is available in two versions: AC (with power cord receptacle
