3 Serial Ports
The RS416 can be equipped with a Fiber Serial Interface, RS232/RS485/RS422 DB9
serial ports or RS232/RS485/RS422 RJ45 serial ports. DB9 and RJ45 ports may
optionally be ordered with support for IRIG B time code. RS416 serial ports are designed
with a high degree of isolation. DB9 and RJ45 ports feature isolation of all external
signals. Serial port common ground terminals are connected to chassis ground via
transient voltage protection circuitry.
3.1 Fiber Serial Interface
The RS416 can be equipped with a Fiber Serial Interface (ST connector only) which
allows RS485, RS422, or RS232 devices to communicate over secure, noise immune,
optically isolated, fiber optic cabling at extended distances as well as protocol
independent conversion to multimode fiber optics.
