The A1000 and A2000 signal converters allow users to establish an effective data acquisition system over long distances. These converters change RS-232 communication signals to RS-485, to accommodate remote field communications, allowing bus lengths to 4,000 feet and baud rates to 115k.
RS-485 is a true transmit/receive bus, which requires some means of controlling the bud direction. The A1000 automatically performs this task, eliminating any handshaking from the host . Thus, any software written for RS-232 or RS-485 may be used without modification. The RS-485 bus control is completely transparent to the user.
The A1000 also contains a 24 V,
1 A power supply capable of
powering up to 32 transmitter
modules. The supply is fully
protected against overloads and
short circuits. The power supply
may also be used to power
accessory circuits such as relays
or 4 to 20 mA transmitters. The
A1000 and A2000 can also be used
as RS-485 repeaters. A repeater
simply re-amplifies, or boosts,
existing RS-485 signals transmitted
over long distances. The A1000 is
available with either 115 or 230 Vac
power, while the A2000 can be
powered by 10 to 30 Vdc.
