The GPIB-120A, with a part number of 18155.5, falls under the GPIB category and is designed to serve as a GPIB Expander/Isolator. This model is recognized by various alternate part numbers, including 776564-01, 776564-02, 776564-03, 776564-04, 776564-05, and 776564-06, ensuring wide compatibility and easy identification for users and systems alike.
Adhering to the IEEE 488.1 standard, the GPIB-120A is crafted to support up to 28 devices, thereby enhancing the capabilities of GPIB networks significantly. It offers the advantage of transparent software compatibility, meaning that there is no need for software rewrites when integrating this device into existing setups.
One of the notable features of the GPIB-120A is its ability to double the cable length limit from 20 meters, effectively extending the reach of GPIB networks. It achieves this through its unique bus configuration, which includes two isolated busses (Bus A and Bus B), thereby enhancing network flexibility and reliability.
The GPIB-120A is designed with a focus on safety and durability, featuring an operating isolation rating of 60 V and a breakdown isolation rating of 1600 V. It utilizes connectors that are either Amphenol or Cinch series 57 Microribbon or Amp Champ, offering versatility in connection options.
This model includes 7 LEDs for operational status indication, providing users with a clear and immediate understanding of the device’s functioning status. Additionally, it supports 16 signal lines, which include 5 interface management lines, 3 handshake lines, and 8 data lines, ensuring comprehensive control and data transfer capabilities.
