Sealevel 687U

SEALEVEL 687U SeaI/O-687U
The SeaI/O-687U easily adds eight RS-232 or RS-485 serial ports to a Relio R1000, SeaPAC industrial touchscreen computer, stack of SeaI/O modules, or anywhere serial devices need to be connected via an available USB port. With the unique VersaCom multi-interface connector design, both RS-232 and two-wire RS-485 signals are always present and active on the RJ45 serial connectors. Simply select the appropriate pin out for RS-232 or two-wire RS-485 on each individual port. There are no internal jumpers or switches to set, so field installation and service is easy. The serial ports appear as standard COM ports to the host system enabling compatibility with legacy software. The SeaI/O-687U supports data rates to 921.6K bps and is designed with a state-machine architecture that greatly reduces the host CPU overhead when communicating over multiple ports simultaneously. Status LEDs display transmit and receive data activity. The SeaI/O-687U is powered from your 9-30VDC source, or select from a variety of Sealevel power supply options. For conveniently powering serial peripherals, the supplied power is fused and connected to pin 5 on each of the RJ45 serial connectors. A high-retention USB type "B" connector helps to prevent accidental disconnection of the USB cable. To further simplify connecting to Sealevel VersaCom RJ45 serial connectors, we offer a number of accessories including RJ45 modular adapters. With these helpful adapters you can easily connect to serial ports on virtually any PLC or peripheral regardless of the serial connector type or gender.

An RS-485 pass-through connector on the side of the SeaI/O-687U provides additional I/O expansion using SeaI/O "N" series expansion modules. Increase your I/O network with up to 246 additional SeaI/O expansion modules, available with Reed and Form C relays, optically isolated inputs, TTL interfaces, A/D and D/A functionality.
