Description
The GPIB-120A is a GPIB Bus Expander/Isolator designed to enhance the functionality and performance of GPIB systems. It is compatible with a variety of part numbers, including 776564-01, 776564-02, 776564-03, 776564-04, 776564-05, and 776564-06, ensuring a wide range of use cases and applications.
This device operates on Australian 240 VAC, making it suitable for use in environments where this voltage is standard. With the capability to expand the GPIB system devices limit from 15 to 28 devices, it offers significant scalability for growing systems. Furthermore, its design ensures software transparency, meaning it can be integrated into existing setups without the need for additional software modifications.
One of the key features of the GPIB-120A is its ability to double the cable length, which enhances the flexibility and reach of GPIB systems. It boasts a unique bus configuration, consisting of Bus A and Bus B with identical circuitry, operating in complete isolation. This design not only ensures robust performance but also provides operational and breakdown isolations of 60 V and 1600 V, respectively, thereby offering an additional layer of protection against electrical anomalies.
The GPIB-120A accommodates a variety of connector types, including Amphenol or Cinch series 57 Microribbon or Amp Champ, offering versatility in connectivity options. It also features seven LEDs on the front panel, which indicate Active Controller and System Controller states, providing at-a-glance system status information.
With 16 signal lines—comprising 5 interface management lines, 3 handshake lines, and 8 data lines—the GPIB-120A is well-equipped to handle complex data transmission and control tasks. Its power requirement is typical 27 VA, indicating efficient energy usage for such a powerful device.
In summary, the GPIB-120A is a comprehensive solution for expanding and isolating GPIB bus systems, offering enhanced performance, flexibility, and reliability for a wide range of applications.
