Moxa CSM-200 ethernet-to-fibre modules for NRack System
06 May, 2010 byMoxa has released the CSM-200 series of slide-in ethernet-to-fibre modules for the NRack System. The modules provide media conversion from 10/100baseT(X) to 100baseFX (SC or ST connector) for fibre-optic transmission up to 40 km. For secure remote failure detection of connected devices, the CSM-200 series supports the TS-1000 protocol. Via a DIP switch, users can switch between store-and-forward mode for high-performance throughput and cut-through mode for real-time response. The CSM-200 series also features hot swapping, so modules can be installed or removed without interrupting the entire system.
Interworld Electronics QSU2-540 industrial communications module
06 May, 2010The QSU2-540 industrial communications module has four independent serial ports with each port able to support RS232, RS422 or RS485 protocols.
Wolverine DDW-120 ethernet SHDSL extender
22 February, 2010 byAn updated version of the Wolverine DDW-120 ethernet SHDSL extender with increased data rate is now available. The DDW-120, enhanced for industrial applications, can be used to establish reliable long-distance, high-speed remote connections between simple and complex ethernet networks using any existing twisted pair copper cables.
Amalgamated Instrument RM3 range of isolators/transmitters
22 January, 2010 byThe RM3 range of isolators offers isolation and scalable retransmission in a DIN rail mount, 2-wire, loop-powered enclosure.
Moxa NPort S8455I-MM-SC ethernet serial device server
22 January, 2010Moxa has released the NPort S8455I-MM-SC, which combines an ethernet switch and serial device server in a single solution with two fibre ethernet ports, three ethernet ports and four RS-232/422/485 serial ports. This design allows users to save cabinet space and reduce overall power consumption and costs since there is no need to purchase separate switches and serial device server products.
Westermo Wolverine 200-series ethernet extenders
13 November, 2009 byThe Wolverine ethernet extender series from Westermo has been enhanced with Class 1, Division 2 approval. This allows the Wolverine series to be installed in hazardous or potentially explosive environments containing flammable vapours and gases.
CAN interface boards
26 October, 2009 byThe CP-602E-I, CP-602U-I and CB-602I are 2-port CAN interface boards designed to provide host computers with CAN ports through the PCI Express, Universal PCI, or PC/104 interfaces. In addition to supporting reliable communications, these boards come with 2 kV isolation protection to shield host computers from potentially damaging electrical spikes. All three models support a wide operating temperature range from -40 to 85 °C, making them suitable for use in critical applications.
