Product Description

The R-IB IL RS232-PRO-PAC communication module by Bosch is designed mainly for industrial automation systems requiring reliable RS-232 communication. Bosch is admired for its commitment to high-quality components that are widely used for variable purposes in various industries.

This R-IB IL RS232-PRO-PAC communication module has a compact design that helps allow for easy installation into tight spaces within control panels or automation systems. It also offers flexibility with options for 7 or 8 data bits and 1 or 2 stop bits and it measures only 24.4 mm in width, 136 mm in height with just 71.5 mm in depth. Its spring-cage connection ensures a secure and stable link by making its design simple with shielded cables as recommended for reducing signal interference. This communication module supports a wide range of transmission speeds from as low as 110 bps to a maximum of 38400 bps based on specific application needs. In terms of data handling, it features a 96-bit process data channel with 12-byte input and output address areas by making it capable of handling data loads efficiently. With a 4 kByte input buffer and 1 kByte output buffer, it is suitable for applications where data flow needs to be managed efficiently.

This R-IB IL RS232-PRO-PAC communication module is admired for its IP20 protection rating and ability to operate in a wide temperature range (-25 °C to 55 °C). This makes it useful for various harsh environments. Power dissipation is found to be 1.7 W under nominal conditions by ensuring energy efficiency. Its high 225 mA maximum current draw aids to ensure that it won’t overload or heat up typical system power supplies and won’t cause any harm to the device.
