RS-232 Code Activated 16 to 64 Port Switch
DataReach™ Model CAS-161A
 Applications:
· RS-232 data collection
· RS-232 port switching
· NC control & programming
· Label printer programming
· Alpha numeric display broadcasting
Features:
· Expandable to 64 ports
· Optional RS-422 output channels
· Instantaneous high speed switching
· Bi-directinal communications
· Selective broadcast features
The CAS-161A is designed for applications where any singular RS-232 device
requires instantaneous access to multiple RS-232 equipment. Whether you
need to broadcast to multiple display monitors, load program data to NC
or robotics machines, direct data to multiple bar code or label printers,
the CAS-161A is the ideal and economical solution.  If
you need to send data over an extended distance, optional RS-422 output
channels are available to increase the Send/Receive distance up to 5,000ft.
The CAS-161A monitors data received at the Master Control Port and watches
for the proper ASCII code sequence to select the desired port. When the
port is selected, data and flow-control signals pass between the Master
and selected Output port. The broadcast feature enables the Master Port
to transmit simultaneously to all ports.
The CAS-161A can be expanded to 32, 48 or 64 ports by adding additional
16-port modules (CAS-161M). Optional 19" and 23" rack mount
hardware is also available.
