Description
The National Instruments GPIB-485CT-A GPIB Serial Controller is a versatile device designed to meet various serial communication needs, boasting an array of part numbers including 777146-01 through 777146-06, 777147-01, 777147-31, 777148-01 through 777148-06, and 777149-01, 777149-31 to cater to different requirements.
Equipped with a 9-pin shielded, standard D-sub male connector for RS-485 serial connections, this controller ensures reliable and secure communication. Its GPIB interface features a 24-pin, standard female connector with screw lock hardware, providing robust physical connectivity for instruments.
Available in both AC and DC versions, the GPIB-485CT-A adapts to various power supply needs; the AC version includes a power cord receptacle, while the DC version comes with a power jack.
Functionality is further enhanced with its mode configuration options, allowing users to set the device as a GPIB listener and talker in G mode, or as a full-fledged GPIB Controller in S mode. These configurations, along with data format, baud rate, and GPIB address settings, are easily adjusted via DIP switches located on the rear panel.
Support for popular communication protocols such as XON/XOFF and hardware handshake ensures smooth data flow and compatibility with a wide range of devices.
The GPIB-485CT-A also excels in providing comprehensive status and error reporting, capable of delivering feedback in numeric form to facilitate troubleshooting and efficient operation.
