Application Information
The TIP866 is an IndustryPack compatible module providing eight channels of high performance asynchronous serial interface. Three different modules are available. The TIP866-10R provides RS232 interface, the TIP866-11R offers TTL level interface and the TIP866-20R provides RS422 interface. Each channel has a 64 byte transmit FIFO and a 64 byte receive FIFO to significantly reduce the overhead required to provide data to and get data from the transmitters and receivers. The FIFO trigger levels are programmable.
The TIP866-10R and -11R support RxD, TxD, RTS, CTS and GND for each of the eight RS232 channels. The TIP866-20R supports RxD+/-, TxD+/- and GND for each of the eight RS422 channels.
The baud rate is individually programmable up to 115.2 kbaud for the TIP866-10R and up to 460.8 kbaud for the TIP866-11R and -20R. The TIP866-10R and -20R use ESD protected transceivers (up to +/-15KV according to IEC 1000-4-2).
The module versions TIP866-xx-ET are designed for the extended operating temperature from -40°C to +85°C.
The Transition Module TIP866-TM-10R provides 8 DB25 connectors mounted in a 6U 8TE front panel. The TIP866-TM-20R provides 8 RJ45 connectors mounted in a 6U 4TE front panel. The TIP866-TM-30R provides 16 4-pin RJ connectors mounted in a 6U 4TE front panel.
Serial line driver software TIP866-SW-xx is available for different operating systems.
