iotech Extender488/F IEEE 488 Bus Extender via Fiber Optic. Extender488/F enables instruments to be located up to 4,000 feet from host IEEE controller. Simple Type: Extender / Converter Board

The Extender488/F provides an economical solution to the 60 ft. (20 m) distance limitation of the IEEE bus. Using high-speed 115.2K baud serial data transmission, a pair of extenders can stretch the bus up to 4,000 ft. (1,000 meters). Extender488/F uses duplex fiber-optic data transmission, which provides high electrical isolation as well as high noise immunity. Extender488/F operates transparently to the IEEE controller, requiring no special programming, with the exception of Parallel Poll. Parallel Polls must be performed twice due to the speed specification of the IEEE bus. The number of devices that can be controlled on the bus is doubled by the extenders. Both the local and remote bus can have up to 14 devices each, in addition to the extenders. Extender488/F is packaged in a rugged all metal case, convenient for bench-top and rack-mount applications.

Features

  • Exceeds the 20 meter cable limitation imposed by the IEEE standard by economically extending the bus up to 1,000 meters via fiber-optic link
  • Expands the number of devices allowed on the bus from 15 to 28
  • Fiber-optic extenders electrically isolate instruments from the computer
  • Operates transparently to the IEEE controller; requires no programming changes for most applications
