    Description

    The product with part numbers 776564-01, 776564-02, 776564-03, 776564-04, 776564-05, and 776564-06 falls under the GPIB category. It is designated as model GPIB-120A. The GPIB-120A serves as a Bus Expander/Isolator specifically for use in the U.S. with a 120 VAC power supply.

    As a GPIB Expander/Isolator, its core function is to facilitate the expansion and isolation within GPIB systems. It adheres to the IEEE 488.1 interface standard, ensuring compatibility and reliability in GPIB communications. The device enables the expansion of the GPIB device limit from 15 to a total of 28 GPIB devices, enhancing the capability of your GPIB system.

    The GPIB-120A requires no modifications to existing user applications because it demands transparent software, meaning no user application rewrite is required. This feature significantly eases its integration into existing setups. Additionally, it doubles the cable length limit from 20 meters, providing greater flexibility in device placement and system configuration.

    Safety and reliability are paramount. The GPIB-120A offers an operating isolation of 60 V and a breakdown isolation of 1600 V, ensuring protection against electrical interferences and hazards. It comes equipped with connectors that are either Amphenol or Cinch series 57 Microribbon or Amp Champ, catering to a wide range of connection needs.

    The front panel of the GPIB-120A features seven LEDs, which provide visual indicators for the Active Controller and System Controller status, facilitating easy monitoring of the system’s state. It supports a total of 16 signal lines, which include five interface management lines, three handshake lines, and eight data lines, ensuring comprehensive control and data communication capabilities within your GPIB system.
