It falls under the category of GPIB, which signifies its primary function in General-Purpose Interface Bus applications.
The model GPIB-485CT-A is specifically designed to bridge the RS-485 Serial to GPIB connection, facilitating communication between devices that utilize these distinct interfaces. This is particularly beneficial in setups where legacy and modern equipment need to interact seamlessly.
For the RS-485 connection, it utilizes a 9-pin shielded, standard D-sub male connector, ensuring robust and reliable physical connectivity. On the GPIB side, it features a 24-pin, standard female connector with screw lock hardware, which guarantees secure attachment and communication integrity even in environments where equipment might be moved or vibrated.
The device is versatile in terms of power compatibility, supporting both AC and DC power versions. This flexibility ensures that it can be deployed in a variety of operational settings without requiring specific power arrangements.
It offers two modes of configuration, G (Listener/Talker) or S (GPIB Controller), allowing users to tailor its operation based on the specific requirements of their GPIB network. Whether it’s acting as a passive listener or talker, or taking charge as the GPIB controller, this device adapts to the needed role.
Support for communication protocols such as XON/XOFF and Hardware Handshake ensures that data transfer is smooth and efficient, minimizing the risk of data loss or communication errors in high-demand applications.
Among its key features are continuous data acceptance from GPIB or serial port
