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
