Data sheet:
RS232 Multi Computer Adapter
Two data sources - one peripheral
The Multi Computer Adapter enables connection of two serial data sources with a peripheral. Automatic switching between both senders is time-controlled.
Properties
Interfaces:
- 3 x RS232, 9-pin SUB-D connector
- 1x DTE pinout
- 2x DCE pinout
Management and Connectivity:
- 2 PCs share a serial terminal device:
- Printer
- Plotter
- Hand scanner
- Card reader
- etc...
- Switching modes:
- Automatic switching on "first come, first served" basis
- manual switching using buttons directly on the device
- with simultaneous sending of all data on the Master port to both Slave ports with automatically switching feedback channel (splitter mode)
- Data back channel permits connection of bi-directional peripherals
- Individual configuration of interfaces
- Conversion of baud rate, data format and handshake protocol possible
- Integrated diagnostic and startup aid: Setting dump
Power supply:
- External
- Wide voltage range up to 24V
