Saving and reading out serial data over the RS232 interface in the battery- or network-operated buffer
The W&T RS232 Batter Buffer allows you to save and read out serial data over the integrated RS232 interface. The device can work from a plug-in power supply or self-contained in battery mode. This allows you for example to transport a CNC program from the design to your machine.
RS232 Battery Buffer, 4 MB
Product properties:
Non-volatile storage of serial data:
Print and plot data
CNC programs
Machine data
Telephone fee information
etc...
Conversion of baud rate, data format and handshake protocol possible
Battery operation or power from plug-in power supply
Integrated diagnostic and startup aid: Setting dump
Application example "Transport of serial machine data": It’s not always possible to connect a computer and the machine to be loaded with data directly using a serial data cable. Data transfer using floppy, CD or USB memory stick is also often unsuitable or undesirable due to compatibility issues (possible virus transmission). In these cases the Battery Buffer can be used as a transport medium - sort of like a memory stick with serial RS232 port. Batter operation allows you to transport the data free of any external power supply.
