Model 2563
RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 Asynchronous Fiber Optic Mini Modem
Features:
- Concurrent, fully-independent RS232, RS422, and RS485 communication channel over a one duplex fiber optic cable (data is multiplexed over fiber link)
- Up to 115kbps asynchronous operation
- Full duplex RS232 and RS422 - Optional tri-state control for bus RS422 systems
- Half duplex RS485 - Rotary switch sets the RS485 bit rate
- Metal ST connector receptacle (SMA option)
- Female DB25 connector RS232 wired as DCE device
- LED indicators for power, optical link status, transmit and
receive data
- Optical link status pin
- Multimode or single mode
- DIN rail mounting option
S.I. Tech 2563 is a unique Bit-Driver allowing simultaneous communication using RS232, RS422, and RS485. Each electrical interface is totally independent and share combined fiber link. This way equipment with different interfaces can be connected over the same fiber link i.e. in a manufacturing plant.
