(EnglishRev2.2)
1.0Description
TheMODEL277SMwasdesignedtoprovidethemost
versatileconnectionpossiblebetweenanyasynchronous
serialequipmentusing FiberOpticcable.Itallowsanytwo
piecesofasynchronousserialequipmenttocommunicatefull
orhalf-duplexovertwofibersattypicaldistancesupto
20KM.
RS-232datasignalsatup to115.2KbpsandRS-422,or
RS-485 datasignalsatup to250Kbpsaresupported.
Differentstandardscanbemixedand matchedtoallow
RS-232devicestoconnecttoyourRS-422orRS-485
system.ThismeanstheMODEL277SMcanreplace
convertersand isolatorswhenconnecting remotedevices,
whileprovidingtheEMI/RFIandtransientimmunityofoptical
fiber.
TheMODEL277SMsupportsboththeTransmit and Receive
datalines, and providesfullhardwarecontroloftheRS-422
