Product Description
The 7IF321 is a compact, electrically isolated 2003 interface module equipped with diagnostic/networking functionality and 1 RS485/RS422 communication port. With screw-in mounting, it provides a reliable serial link between industrial controls and field devices. This module supports standard RS485 and RS422 protocols for versatile connectivity. Its electrically isolated design protects equipment against noise and transients for up to 1,500V AC isolation. Integrated bus connections make it plug-and-play.
For wiring, the 7IF321 utilizes a 9-pin D-type socket connector to link RS485/422 devices like VFDs, sensors, valves, and remote I/O blocks. This allows multi-dropped networking to share data across serial nodes up to 1000 feet away. Weighing just 0.1kg, the interface module measures 1.0 x 3.0 x 4.0 for an ultra-compact footprint. It mounts via integrated bus connectors or screw terminals, suited for distributed I/O stations and tight control cabinets.
Network-enabled for remote maintenance access, the 7IF321 enables firmware updates without disassembly. Integrated diagnostic LEDs confirm network communication status for each node at a glance. With robust EMC compliance and an extended 0-55 degrees C operating temp range, this interface module withstands electrical noise, shock, and vibration in industrial settings. Hot swapping failed modules reduces downtime.
