Isolated RS-232 Hub (3-way) | rdc232hub
Isolated RS-232 3-way hub – Master to 2 slave devices
Product Code: rdc232Hub; rdc232hub-dv-4p-dd-F1
Our rs-232 hub allows the interconnection of three RS-232 devices, complete with full 4-port 2.5kv optical/galvanic isolation. Each port is fully isolated (with floating ground) with reference to the other data ports and the power supply. 500-watt voltage transient suppressor diodes protect the hub from normal mode surges, while the full galvanic isolation protects the hub from common mode surges.
The hub operates either in Hub or Master-Slave mode. As a hub, any one device can communicate freely with the other two because data received on any one port is echoed out through the other two.
- In 3-way hub mode (internal jumper J3 removed): half-duplex data flows freely between all three ports A, B, & C. It allows the 232hub to act like a 3-node RS-485 network without the need for RS485.
- In Master-Slave mode (internal jumper J3 installed): full-duplex data flows freely between either ports A & C, or ports B & C. It allows one master device to talk to 2 slaves, or two devices (a primary & backup) to share one resource.
Key features:
- Isolates and repeats RS-232 signals
- Various isolation options available
- Protocol Independent
- 3-port Master/Slave or Hub operation
- 3-wire operation (TX, RX, GND) for each port
