MT3401

MT3401 - 3U 4 Channel RS422 / RS485. The MT3401 is a standard single-width (4HP) 3U module with four channels of high performance RS422/485-HD/FD serial interface. Each of the four channels is isolated from the system and against each other by optocoupler and on board DC/DC converter per channel.

Key features

• 4 Channel Isolated Serial Interface RS422/485
• For RS422 and RS485-FD support of RxD, TxD and GND per channel
• For RS485-HD support of DX+, DX- and GND per channel
• USB 2.0 compliant interface
• Programmable baud rates up to 10 Mbit/s
• ESD protected transceiver
• (up to +/- 15KV according to IEC 1000-4-2)
• Front panel or rear I/O

The MT3401 is a standard single-width (4HP) 3U module with four channels of high performance RS422/485-HD/FD serial interface. Each of the four channels is isolated from the system and against each other by optocoupler and on board DC/DC converter per channel.

The serial channels are accessible through a DSUB connector mounted in the front panel and rear J2 I/O. For RS422 and RS485-FD a four wire interface (RX+, RX-, TX+, TX-) plus isolated ground (GND) per channel is supported. For RS485-HD a two wire interface (DX+, DX-) plus isolated ground (GND) per channel is supported. The baud rate is individually programmable up to 10 Mbit/s for each channel.

Each receiver input and transmitter output of all channels is protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD) up to +/- 15kV according to IEC 1000-4-2.
