Isolation: Your Best Investment for Reliability  


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

Spikes and Surges Can Garble Messages and Damage Electronic Components

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.



For a DIN Mount Industrial Surge Suppressor,

 3-way isolation converts, protects & extends data signals

RS-485 Repeaters

Optical isolation protects your devices from transient surges and ground loops on your data line. Model 485OPDR repeater adds 4,000 feet (1.2 km) and another 32 nodes to an RS-485 data circuit. By configuring one side as RS-422 and the other as RS-485, Model 485OPDR can act as a converter to allow your four wire RS-422 equipment to talk to a 2-wire RS-485 device. Model 232OPDR isolates four RS-232 data signals. LEDs indicate data transmission (232OPDR also has power-on LED). Requires external power supply not included.

General Features
