Model RX/TXD Receiver/Transmitter Unit
Description N/A N/A N/A N/A This lightweight DIN rail mountable unit, Line Driver and Line Receiver is composed of a PC/ABS self-extinguishing material blend. Configurable as a level changer, line repeater, splitter or encoder tester, the RX/TXD will accept TTL, RS422, RS485, PP, NPN, NPN OC, or PNP encoder inputs at 5V, or HTL, PP, NPN, NPN OC & PNP at 5-24V. It will provide up to three outputs in any combination of TTL, RS422, RS485, PP, at 5V, or HTL, PP at 5-24V. A series of LEDs on the front panel indicates power and signal presence. Connections are made via the easily accessible screw terminals as standard. This device may be used as both a Line Driver and Line Receiver.

Features N/A The RX/TX Converter converts a Push-Pull or NPN encoder output to an RS422 compatible differential Line Driver output. In addition, it will also convert Line Driver/RS422 encoder output to single ended signals (Push- Pull) for compatibility with certain PLC's.

Each converter has two independent channels: Channel 1 is equipped with a differential Line Receiver on the input. It then converts these differential signals (A, A', B, B', Z, Z') to Push-Pull output signals (A, B, Z), with an amplitude equivalent to Vcc.

Channel 2 will convert single ended signals from a Push-Pull or NPN Open Collector encoder to Differential Line Driver signals. Differential Line Driver signals include complementary outputs A', B', and Z' which offer greater immunity to electrical noise, signal distortion, and interference, especially with long cable runs. 		N/A The RX/TX Repeater retransmits signals from an encoder output in order to drive signals over a longer distance with reduced noise and distortion free waveforms. The input is equipped with a Differential Line Receiver and a Differential Line Driver. It takes the differential signals (A, A', B, B', Z, Z'), squares the signals up, and then repeats the signals at the outputs.

Benefits are greater immunity from electrical noise, signal distortion, and interference, especially with long cable runs. The output signal can be 5 VDC or an amplitude equivalent to Vcc. 		N/A The RX/TX Splitter has one input and two separate output channels. There are two different types of inputs available. One input type is a differential line receiver where differential input signals (A, A’, B,B’,Z,Z’) are split into two identical differential output channels. Alternatively, the input can be configured for a single ended Push-Pull, NPN, Open Collector, or Pull-Up encoder (A,B,Z), which will split the signal into two independent differential line driver outputs (A, A’, B,B’,Z,Z’). Refer to the block diagram below for the signal flow through the device. Line Driver signals include complementary outputs A’, B’, and Z’, and offer greater immunity from electrical noise, signal distortion, and interference especially with long cable runs. The output signal can be approximately 5 VDC or a voltage amplitude equivalent to the RXTX supply (Vcc).

To order, choose the type of input (differential or single ended), the expected encoder signal voltage and the voltage output options. Use the RXTX Splitter ordering guide below to establish the stock number. 		N/A
