Product Description

The B&R Automation part number 3IF622. 9 is a highly developed interface module that is intended for the SYSTEM 2005 series to improve communication functions in industrial automation systems.

This module has one RS232 and two RS485/RS422 ports with which it is possible to connect the device to other devices. This ensures that the communication is reliable since the RS485/RS422 interfaces are electrically isolated and the data transfer is enhanced by the utilization of the UART type ST16C654 controller in the RS232 interface that features a FIFO of 64 bytes in the receive and transmit directions respectively. The module consumes a maximum of 1. 8 watts, which is rather energy-saving. It can be installed in interface module slots on the CP260, IF260, or IF060 meaning that it can be installed in any part of the system. The communication distance of the RS232 interface is limited to 15 meters at a data rate of 19200 Baud while that of the RS485/RS422 interface is 1200 meters with a maximum data rate of 115. 2 kBaud. The RS232 interface also provides the Handshaking lines namely DTR, DSR, RTS, and CTS for the efficient flow control of data.

Every interface has a provision for status LED for data reception (RXD) or data transmission (TXD) to enable real-time monitoring. The RS485/RS422 interfaces are isolated to avoid mishaps and data corruption and the system is network-enabled for versatile networking options. As a result of the mentioned features, the 3IF622. 9 module should be considered as a key element for the expansion of communication channels in industrial automation systems, and providing secure data transmission. The product is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.
