Automation / M1 Controller System / Interface Modules
RS204
Interface Module
The interface module RS204 is used to connect four asynchronous
serial interfaces to the M1 controller.
• 4 interfaces on one module
• Any number of interfaces possible per controller
• RS232 / RS422 / RS485 can be combined
• High speed interfaces with up to 1.5 Mbaud
• Auto-flow control for automatic handshake
• Integrated terminating resistors
(connect/disconnect)
• Interfaces galvanically isolated
