RS232/422/485 Serial and GPI to Fiber Transceiver
The OBD 1510 D is a pair of multi-function modules which will extend the reach of serial RS232, RS422 or RS485 as well as two GPI (general purpose interface) up to 10km (6.2 miles) over a single bi-directional fiber link (WDM).
A single RJ45 serial connection can be configured for RS232, RS422 or RS485 serial standards. A separate RJ45 connector is provided for two GPI inputs and outputs. Serial communications and GPI are transmitted and extended over the same fiber link.
The OBD 1510 D is protocol agnostic and supports all standard and and proprietary serial protocols at data rates from 300 to 460K Baud (auto sensing and auto adjusting).
The integrated dip switch provides precise control over the serial mode of operation with selections for the serial standard, serial termination, RX/TX crossover and RS422/485 data direction (automatic or manual). Status LEDs are provided for the serial and GPI ports under their respective RJ45 connectors.
The OBD 1510 D supports mixing and matching of serial standards. For example, the transmitting module can take in an RS232 input, and the receiving module can be set for RS422 output.
Note: This system used WDM optical multiplexing and should only be used in point to point applications. This solution cannot be integrated into a CWDM multiplexed system.
