Description
The GPIB-120A Bus Expander/Isolator is designed to enhance the capabilities of GPIB systems. It comes with multiple part numbers, including 776564-01, 776564-02, 776564-03, 776564-04, 776564-05, and 776564-06, making it a versatile solution for various setups. This device falls under the GPIB category, indicating its compatibility and functionality within GPIB systems. The model GPIB-120A serves a crucial role in expanding and isolating GPIB systems efficiently.
The primary function of the GPIB-120A is to serve as both a GPIB Expander and Isolator. This dual functionality is essential for systems requiring expansion beyond the standard limitations, as it supports the expansion from 15 to 28 GPIB devices. Such capability ensures that larger configurations can be accommodated without sacrificing performance or reliability.
One of the standout features of the GPIB-120A is its transparent software requirement. This means that users do not need to rewrite their application software to integrate the GPIB-120A into their systems, significantly simplifying the installation and setup process. Additionally, the device offers a cable limit extension, effectively doubling the cable limit to 40 meters. This extension is particularly beneficial for setups requiring longer distances between devices, ensuring stable and reliable communication across the expanded setup.
When it comes to safety and durability, the GPIB-120A is equipped with robust isolation capabilities. It offers operating and breakdown isolations rated at 60 V and 1600 V, respectively. These features ensure that the device can operate safely under various conditions, protecting both the hardware and the data being transferred.
The GPIB-120A utilizes connectors of the Amphenol or Cinch series 57 Microribbon or Amp Champ types, providing flexibility in connecting different devices. The front panel of the device is equipped with 7 LEDs, offering clear indications of Active Controller and System Controller statuses. This feature ensures users can easily monitor the operational status of the GPIB system.
Regarding signal processing, the GPIB-120A supports 16 signal lines, which include 5 interface management lines, 3 handshake lines, and 8 data lines. This comprehensive signal line support ensures that the device can handle complex data transfers efficiently. The power requirement for the GPIB-120A
