Introduction: |
|
|
The PDS-220Fx series is a family of Programmable Device Servers, also known as "Serial-to-Fiber gateway¡¨, that are designed for adding optical fiber connectivity to RS-232/422/485 devices.
The fiber-optic communications permits transmission over longer distances than other forms of communications because of the signals travel along them with less loss and no crosstalk. It has following important features:
- Immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) - Motors, relays, welders and other industrial equipment generate a tremendous amount of electrical noise that can cause major problems with copper cabling.
- High electrical resistance, making it safe to use near high-voltage equipment or between areas with different earth potentials.
- No sparks - important in flammable or explosive gas environments.
- Not electromagnetically radiating, and difficult to tap without disrupting the signal - important in high-security environments.
The user-friendly VxComm Driver/Utility allows users to easily turn the built-in COM ports of the PDS-220Fx series into standard COM ports on a PC. By virtue of its protocol independence, a small-core OS and high flexibility, the PDS-220Fx series is able to meet the demands of every network-enabled application.
The PDS-220Fx series includes a powerful and reliable Xserver programming structure that allows you to design your robust Ethernet applications in one day. The built-in, high-performance MiniOS7 boots the PDS-220Fx up in just one second and gives you fastest responses.
The PDS-220Fx is equipped with 1 RS-232 port and 1 RS-422/485 port. The removable on-board terminal block connector is designed for easy and robust wiring in industrial situations.

"VxComm Driver/Utility" |
|
|
The VxComm Driver/Utility supports the most popular operating system in the world, including 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7/Vista/2008/2003/XP. The virtual COM works transparently and is protocol independent, enabling perfect integration with your current central computer. The utility provides an easy configuration interface that can be used to quickly create and map virtual COM ports to one or several PDS-220Fx series modules. In addition, the utility contains a built-in terminal program, so users can send/receive command/data via the terminal program for basic testing. |

"ESD Protection" & "Frame Ground": |
|
|
The PDS series offer TVS diode ESD protection technology, protecting your system from being damaged by the unexpected high voltage. |
|
|
 |
|
|
How does TVS diode work?
Under normal operating conditions, the TVS diode presents high impedance (appears as an open circuit) to the protected component. When the voltage is beyond the limits, the TVS diode avalanches providing a low impedance path for the transient current. As a result, the transient current is diverted away from the protected components and shunted through the TVS diode. The device returns to a high impedance state after the transient threat passes. |
