Product Description
Intended for integration into PLC control systems, the HCMCIF2-0 is a Bus Interface Module that offers flexibility and that also enhances communications with its features across different protocols. A distinguishing feature of this module is that it supports RS232 and TTY communications in addition to the RS485 communications, thus making it useful in many industrial communication systems. As the HCMCIF2-0 comes with an isolated RS232/RS485 interface, it also enables the isolation of parties during a data transfer from power surges that may occur in a given system. In industrial environments, where the protection of signals and the systems themselves is vital, this kind of isolation is absolutely necessary.
For the singular aim of integration onto the network, a single ARCNET interface is embedded on the module. This interface allows efficient and effective networking of real time control systems. In addition to this, there is some PCMCIA interface on the HCMCIF2-0, which not only increases its versatility but also aids in its increasingly wide application by incorporating further extension and customization depending upon the application's needs. As it is a module designed for networked application, the HCMCIF2-0 provides support to RS485 networks. This allows implementation of communication over long distances with multiple users on one network which is an important aspect in large industrial systems. In the field of various industrial automations, the module has a great significance due to its seamless incorporation into programmable logic controllers.
In addition, HCMCIF2-0 comply with both CE and the UKCA marks, it also meets the case safety and compliance standards of Europe as well as United Kingdom therefore making it fit for use in regulated manufacturing industries. Due to its robust design and wide range of communication capabilities, it can be used to enhance the connecting and functional abilities of the PLC systems.
