Triple Isolation Protection for Your Data and Equipment

B&B Electronics Ilinx series of RS-232/422/485 industrial converters and repeaters boast top notch, 3-way isolation for rugged industrial applications. Data ports are isolated from each other. Power supply is fully isolated with operation from 10V all the way up to 48V. With more installations having 48 VDC rails, you can take full advantage of your power rail and eliminate a power supply.

ROGUE CURRENTS

Surges - what causes them
Rogue data signals can be caused by a minor power spike in an electrical circuit or a nearby lightning strike with more than half of all electrical surges caused by fluorescent lighting or gas-filled light bulbs. Eliminate rogue currents by inserting an optical isolator in your data line.

Isolation - how it works
Optical isolation converts a voltage signal to an optical signal before being converted back to a voltage signal. This process isolates voltage anomalies from the protected equipment.

Isolation - an industry must
Optical isolation is a requirement for commercial and industrial communications. Spikes and surges on data lines create havoc in industrial applications. If you get a surge at home or the office, you may have to reboot. An inconvenience.

But that same surge in a computer-controlled industrial application can shut down an assembly line or an entire plant. That's a disaster!

Adding an optically isolated converter, repeater or a stand-alone isolator from B&B Electronics stops damaging spikes and surges in their tracks.
