Description
The National Instruments ENET-232/2 Ethernet Interface is a versatile device with a part number 778064-02 for US 120 V applications and part number 778064-52 for North America 240 V applications. This interface is designed to accommodate two RS232 ports, leveraging Ethernet connectivity for efficient communication over networks supporting both 100BaseTX and 10BaseTX standards.
It offers two communication modes: a point-to-point mode with a maximum distance of 50 feet per serial port, and a multidrop mode that reaches up to 4000 km per serial port and can interface with up to 31 modules. The serial ports are of the DTE type, and the interface is equipped with FIFO buffers to enhance transmission speed and reduce latency.
Several status indicators including Power, Link, Transmitting, Receiving, and Port number in use provide visual feedback on the device’s operation. The ENET-232/2 is supported by NI Serial Server Software, which is capable of handling baud rates up to 230.4 kb/sec, ensuring robust and high-speed serial communication for a variety of applications.
