RS232 Universal Serial T-Switch
Connecting three serial terminal devices
The Universal Serial T-Switch enables practically any imaginable uni- or bi-directional connection of three serial terminal devices. The T-switch has three serial terminals, each of which can be freely configured.
Properties
Interfaces:
- 3 x RS232, 9-pin SUB-D connector
- 1x DTE pinout
- 2x DCE pinout
Management and Connectivity:
- Operating modes:
- Changeover using control sequences:
- 1 computer runs for example two serial devices
- time-controlled switching with adjustable switch time:
- 2 computers share for example one serial terminal device:
- Printer, plotter, hand scanner, card reader, etc...
- Changeover using control sequences:
- No manual intervention necessary
- Data back channel allows connection of bi-directional peripheral devices
- 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
Standards & more
- Conforms to standards both in office and industrial environments:
- High noise resistance per EN 61000-6-2
- Low noise emission per EN 55032:2015 + A1 Cl. B, EN 61000-3-2 & EN 61000-3-3
- 5 year guarantee
Worth knowing
Notes on use:The W&T RS232 Universal Serial T-Switch is an extremely versatile device. Virtually any uni- or bi-directional 2:1 coupling of RS232 devices is possible with this switch.
The Adapter has 3 serial ports: 1 Master port "C" and 2 Slave ports "A" and "B". Each of these ports can be parameterised independently of the others.
The Switch supports 4 data channels (Master C <> Slave A, Master C <> B), which are equipped in each direction with 1 MB buffers. The channels are switched either timed or using control sequences from one of the three Switch ports.
