Description
The GPIB-120A is a GPIB Expander/Isolator classified under the GPIB category, designed to support electrical loads of up to 15 devices as per the IEEE 488.1 Standard. This device is capable of expanding the device limit from 15 to 28 devices without necessitating a rewrite of the user’s application software, thanks to its transparent software feature.
It features a dual-bus configuration, labeled Bus A and Bus B, both equipped with identical circuitry to ensure seamless operation. The GPIB-120A is engineered to provide operating and breakdown isolation rated at 60 V and 1600 V, respectively, ensuring robust protection for connected devices.
When it comes to connectivity, this model is compatible with various connectors, including Amphenol or Cinch series 57 Microribbon or Amp Champ type connectors. Users can easily monitor the device’s status through its front panel, which houses 7 LEDs, including indicators for Active Controller and System Controller.
Additionally, the GPIB-120A supports 16 signal lines, comprising 5 interface management lines, 3 handshake lines, and 8 data lines, to accommodate a wide range of data communication requirements. Despite its extensive functionality, it maintains a modest power requirement of typically 27 VA.
Its part numbers include 776564-01, 776564-02, 776564-03, 776564-04, 776564-05, and 776564-06, making it easy to identify and order the specific model suited to your needs.
