Description
The GPIB-120A is a GPIB Expander/Isolator designed to enhance the capabilities of your GPIB system. This device is capable of expanding the maximum number of GPIB system devices from 15 to 28, allowing for a more extensive and versatile setup. With part numbers including 776564-01, 776564-02, 776564-03, 776564-04, 776564-05, and 776564-06, this model offers flexibility and compatibility with various systems.
One of the key features of the GPIB-120A is its ability to double the GPIB cable limit to 40 meters, significantly extending the reach of your GPIB system without sacrificing performance. Moreover, the device ensures that there is no need for a rewrite of the user’s application software, thanks to its transparent software requirement. This feature is particularly beneficial for users looking to upgrade their system without extensive modifications to existing software.
The GPIB-120A is designed with safety and durability in mind, offering operating and breakdown isolations of 60 V and 1600 V, respectively. This ensures that your system is protected against potential electrical hazards. The device is equipped with connectors compatible with Amphenol or Cinch series 57 Microribbon or Amp Champ, providing flexibility in system configuration.
Additionally, the device features 7 LED indicators for functions such as Active Controller and System Controller, allowing users to easily monitor the status of their GPIB system. With 16 signal lines, including 5 interface management lines, 3 handshake lines, and 8 data lines, the GPIB-120A supports comprehensive communication and data transfer capabilities.
The GPIB-120A requires a typical power supply of 27 VA and has a case dimension of 3.5 x 8.5 x 13.0 inches, making it a compact yet powerful addition to any GPIB system. Despite its extensive functionalities, the device introduces a minimal data transfer rate degradation of 250 ns per byte, ensuring that system performance remains high.
