TCP460 I 16 Channel RS232/RS422 Serial Interface CompactPCI Module

CompactPCI

TCP46016-channel RS-232/RS-422 3U CompactPCI serial board

Manufacturer

TCP460 is a serial communication board for CompactPCI racks, used where the system has to talk to instruments and units over serial lines. The board weighs 0.135 kg and draws 0.26 W.

The versions with back I/O also bring the signals to the J2 connector of the rack, a useful answer when cabling on the front panel is not practical.

The family is available in 2, 4 or 16 channel versions; the configurations also differ in the declared MTBF, between 370,000 and 510,000 hours. An example in the catalog is TCP460-10R.
