Serial Communications Solutions 

Complete industrial and commercial solutions 

to keep your legacy serial equipment communicating 

For many years, people have been predicting the demise of serial communications. But, as you know, there are 

millions of nodes still performing in the field. To keep this perfectly good equipment up and operating, B&B 

Electronics has developed the most extensive line of serial conversion and isolation products on the market today. 

Serial products from B&B Electronics are built tough to keep your equipment up and your data flowing. Optical 

isolation is built in to most of our products. This method of isolation is far superior to galvanic isolation, since there is 

no physical connection across the isolation zone. Visit www.bb-elec.com/Isolation. Automatic Send Data Control

Why offer “optional” power supplies with port powered converters? 

Simply put, all RS-232 ports are not created equal. Many laptop PC’s for example, deliberately reduce power to the RS-232 port to 

save the battery. And, if you are working at the distance limits of RS-422 or 485, you might need an extra boost. It’s also possible 

that your application does not include and RS-232 “handshake line” which carries most of the power. For the majority of 

applications though, port power is all our efficient converters need to get the job done. We just want to be sure that you’re covered, 

no matter what.

Technical Support Note 

Kelly On Why Send Data Control (SDC) Makes Serial Conversion Easier 

As operating systems become more complex, it is increasingly difficult to control an RS-485 driver 

with standard software and the RTS line. This is especially true in Windows and multi-tasking 

operating systems. With B&B’s Automatic Send Data Control circuit, driver control is in the converter 

hardware, so you don’t have to work with software at all. The circuit monitors data flow and enables 

the driver during transmission and automatically disables it when no data is being sent. There is no 

need to rework software or install new drivers. Most B&B Electronics RS-232 to RS-485 converters and 

RS-485 serial cards include Automatic Send Data Control.

• Extend data signals up to 4,000 feet (1.2 km) 

• Change TD and RD RS-232 signals to balanced RS-422 signals 

• Automatic Send Data Control – no software drivers to install or manage 

• Baud rates up to 115.2 kbps

Convert RS-232 TD and RD signals to RS-422, allowing range to be increased from the 50 feet (15 m) specified in the RS-232 

standard to 4,000 feet (1.2 km) at data speeds up to 115.2 kbps. No handshake driver control is required since the RS-422 driver 

and receiver are always enabled. 

Converters 

These models do not require an external power supply. They draw power from the RS-232 handshake lines. If handshake lines 

are unavailable, choose Model 422PP9TB or 422LPCOR and connect a 12 VDC power supply to the terminal block.

Model 485DSS allows RS-232 devices to be placed on an RS- 

422 or RS-485 network and be individually controlled. Put a 

converter on each device you wish to contact. A host PC with 

RS-422 or RS-485 capability can then connect to each node 

using a unique address from 0 to 255. Once a node is selected 

and the connection made, any type of monitoring, control or 

programming information can be exchanged. 

A QuickBASIC demonstration program with source code is 

included. RS-232 connector is DB25M, RS-485 connector is a 

terminal block. Requires an external 12 VDC power supply.

These converters allow your computer to communicate up to 

4,000 feet by converting the RS-232 signal to RS-422. If the 

peripheral to be connected has an RS-422 interface, only one 

converter is required. If both the data transmitting equipment 

and data receiving equipment use only RS-232, then two 

converters will be required, one at each end of the data line. 

These models all have DB25 female connectors on the RS-232 

side and DB25 male connectors on the RS-422 side. Models 

422LCOR and 422CFCR require the 422PS external 12 VDC 

power supply. Model 422CEC requires the 422PS3 external 12 

VDC power supply. 

• Model 422LCOR converts two signals and has LEDs to

Fiber optic cable carries serial data reliably up to 4 kilometers 

(2.5 miles), much further than conventional copper lines. Fiber 

optic data transmission uses light in glass fiber cable as a 

communication medium. It is ideal for spanning areas with 

severe interference, such as near heavy electrical equipment, 

welding or radio transmissions. Being non-electric, fiber optic 

cable will not pick up any noise. 

Power surges and spikes are created by electrical equipment, 

by nearby lightning strikes and from other sources. They are 

picked up by copper data lines and transmitted to the 

connected devices, garbling messages and damaging 

equipment. Fiber optic cables do not transmit power spikes or 

surges, providing the most reliable system possible. Ground 

loops interfere with data communications through copper. 

Using fiber optics eliminates ground loops by not providing a 

conductive path for the ground. 

Features 

• Port powered, no external power required 

• Transparently communicate RS-232 at 115.2 Kbps 

• Fiber is immune to surges, spikes, ground loops 

• Range up to 2.5 miles (4 km) 

• TD, RD, RTS and CTS supported 

Transmit RS-232 data at 115.2 Kbps 4 km (2.5 miles) with 

port-powered fiber optic converters. Models 232FLST and 

9PFLST allow RS-232 serial devices to communicate 

transparently over longer distances and with greater 

reliability. These models support TD, RD, RTS and CTS and 

provide the inherent immunity of fiber to data line surges, 

spikes and ground loops. 

Model 232FLST has a DB25 female serial connector; 9PFLST a 

DB9 female. Both units have ST fiber connectors. These 

models draw power from the serial port in most applications.

Tom: Fast, reliable fiber optic converters for RS-232/422/485 

Many commercial and industrial environments present electrical noise and ground 

differential challenges, especially over long distances. Fiber optic links solve those 

problems, providing high bandwidth connections that are impervious to noise and 

ground differentials. Fiber optic data transmission uses light in glass for spanning areas 

with severe interference. Fiber optic cable carries serial data reliably up to 4 kilometers 

(2.5 miles), much farther than conventional copper lines.

Mario: Extend data signals with signal repeaters 

The standards for RS-232 data communication call for a maximum range of 50 feet (15 m) and the 

RS-422/485 standards call for 4,000 feet (1200 m) maximum. While these standard maximums can 

sometimes be stretched, the more positive method of using serial communications over longer distances is 

the installation of repeaters at intervals in the data line. Repeaters refresh the data signals by regenerating 

the signal. Repeaters allow another 50 to 100 feet of range for RS-232 lines, and 4,000 feet for each repeater 

added to an RS-422 or RS-485 line. RS-485 repeaters divide the load into multiple segments and each 

“refreshed” signal is capable of driving another 4,000 feet of cable and 31 more RS-485 nodes. Models 

485OP, 485OPDR, and 485OPDRi isolate and repeat RS-422 and RS-485 signals. See above & pages 16, 22.

Different data rates, formats and handshaking? 

No problem with this baud rate converter! 

Many older devices lack the option to reconfigure baud rate, 

data format and handshaking. Model 232BRC acts as a 

translator between asynchronous devices, matching each 

device’s needs while maintaining the highest possible 

throughput. Each side can be individually configured to suit 

the device connected to it. The module supports any data rate 

up to 115.2 kbps and all standard data formats. 

Each side can also supply or accept hardware or software 

handshaking, allowing the higher speed device to be located 

on either port. A PC is used to configure the Model 232BRC, 

but once configured, the module may be installed on any 

system. Non-volatile memory maintains all parameters when 

power is removed. Each port buffers 16K bytes of data. LED 

indicators on each port signals when data is present in the 

buffer. The connectors are DB9 female on port A, DB9 male on 

port B. Model 232BRC requires 12 VDC @ 100 mA. Module 

dimensions are 5.8 x 3.6 x 1.2 in (14.6 x 9.1 x 3.0 cm). A power 

supply is available.

Joe: How to connect up to 17 devices to one serial port 

B&B Electronics’ smart switches can be used to connect one RS-232 port to four or more different 

serial devices. These switches can be controlled in two different ways. 

The first way is “smart switch mode.” In this mode, the switch is controlled by sending a preamble 

(usually three characters) to the master port. As soon as the preamble code is received, the selected 

slave port is connected to the master port. 

The second way the switch can be controlled is “port combiner mode.” In this mode, a slave port 

can access the master port by asserting a handshake line. If none of the slave ports have their 

handshake line asserted, the switch can be controlled using the preamble codes. There is no delay 

through non-buffered switches. LEDs indicate which port is selected.

Serial cards 

An Introduction to PCI Technology 

Serial 

What are universal PCI cards? 

In the days of yore, the PCI bus used 5 V signaling on the PCI 

connector. Some PCI buses, including many of today’s newest 

PC’s use 3.3 V signaling. A keyed notch in the card prevents it 

from being plugged into the wrong version of the bus. If you 

buy a 5 V PCI card, it won’t fit into a 3.3 V bus, and a 3.3 V 

PCI card won’t fit into a 5 V bus. A situation fraught with peril 

for the casual customer! Not to worry, all of the PCI cards in 

the following pages follow the Universal PCI specification, 

officially termed PCI V2.3. As you might guess, Universal PCI 

is compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V systems. To tell if your 

card is Universal PCI, look for two keyed notches in the bus 

connector, indicating that it will fit (and work!) in any PCI 

system. 

What about the ISA bus? 

Need serial cards for the ISA bus? We’re happy to say that B&B Electronics continues to stock and support ISA cards (to be honest, 

some of us even feel an emotional attachment to these cards). To see our full line of multi-interface and isolated ISA cards click 

over to www.bb-elec.com 

Multi-interface PCI (page 34) 

You’ll find that B&B Electronics’ MIport family of PCI cards has the flexibility to fit any 

system. Two, four and eight port versions feature RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 capability! 

Optically isolated multi-interface PCI (page 34) 

These optically isolated members of the MIport family of PCI cards are robust enough for the 

toughest and most mission-critical environments. One, two and four port versions offer the 

flexibility of RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485! 

PCMCIA (page 35) 

Add serial or parallel ports to your laptop for mobile and field service applications. One, two 

and four ports are available in both RS-232 and RS-422/485 versions. Rugged versions 

featuring a permanently attached cable are also available. 

ExpressCards (page 35) 

ExpressCards add 1 to 2 high-speed serial ports (RS-232 or RS-422/485) or 1 parallel port to 

notebooks and other mobile devices. High throughput and low latency is comparable to 

native, built-in COM ports. 

Technician’s Notebook 

Janet: Isolation zones explained 

Isolated serial card design requires attention to three things. Special optocouplers isolate the serial 

signals from the PCI bus. Unique isolated DC-to-DC power supplies provide power to each of the 

ports and give us port-to-port isolation. Finally, the 

circuit board uses strict spacing rules – we call these 

Isolation zones on the 3PCIOU2 

isolation zones. Surges follow the path of least 

resistance, and a tiny gap between traces is an easy 

path for surges to reach the delicate computer bus, 

bypassing expensive isolation components entirely. 

You’ll find wide isolation zones on B&B Electronics’ 

isolated PCI cards. If you’re buying boards from 

someone else, hold them up to the light and check for 

these isolation zones, you might not be getting the 

protection that you’re paying for.

ExpressCards are another great way to add serial and parallel 

ports to notebooks and other portable devices. Traditionally this 

has been done with a USB or PCMCIA interface. However, 

many portables no longer ship with a PCMCIA slot available. 

One advantage to using ExpressCard technology over USB is 

that the added ports more closely emulate those of built-in 

ports. In other words, higher throughput and lower latency is 

commonly better with ExpressCards based on PCIe designs. 

These ExpressCards are designed in 34mm format which means 

they will fit into any ExpressCard slot.

– Telnet allows remote configuration via network 

– Serial console allows local configuration through serial port 

• Virtual COM Driver Software for Windows - installs virtual COM ports, viewable in the Windows Device Manager under Ports 

(COM & LPT). The driver installs a virtual COM on windows which maps the virtual COM port to the IP address and 

TCP/UDP port of the serial server, enabling the Windows applications to access remote serial devices over an IP-based Ethernet 

LAN. Any program running on the computer and using Windows-based COM ports can access the serial devices attached to the 

server. The LAN becomes transparent to the serial device and the software running on the PC. 

• TCP Probe - selectable protocol ensures reliable communications in Virtual COM mode or Paired mode. This feature restores the 

connections if communications are temporarily lost at either end due to loss of power or Ethernet connection.

If it has a serial port and you have an Ethernet LAN or WAN, 

you can keep it in top tune with serial servers. Your control 

room PC will show the device as if it had a direct connection 

to monitor. Keep it at maximum production without leaving 

your desk. Even troubleshoot it from outside your LAN via 

the Internet. 

Vlinx Manager software 

Vlinx Manager software puts access to your whole shop on 

your desk. Configure devices, upgrade firmware and monitor 

activity. The Monitor port feature allows you to use any PC on 

the LAN/WAN to actively view and troubleshoot the network 

and connected devices. It displays traffic the status of the 

connected hardware. 


• Supports TCP server, TCP Client, UDP, virtual com and 

pair modes 

• Auto detecting 10/100 Ethernet port 

• Easy setup with web and telnet connections 

Web server 

Serial servers can be accessed and configured from any web 

browser (such as Internet Explorer) on the LAN/WAN. This 

allows you to remotely manage the software and your serial 

device. It also supports off-site troubleshooting. 

Heartbeat connection protection keeps you online 

If there is a communication halt, the serial server will attempt 

to reconnect every five seconds until a connection is 

regained. Without this convenient feature, a device that loses 

a connection and stops communicating would not be able to 

reconnect without a person attending to the problem.

• Auto search function if radio settings are forgotten 

• Easy field firmware updates 

Vlinx Serial Servers have the largest selection of standard fiber optic port options available. If your Ethernet network is using 

single-mode or multi-mode fiber optics, our serial servers are the natural choice for serial device connectivity. Fiber Optics 

offers the following benefits: 

• Immune to Noise, EMI, RFI 

• No Cross Talk 

• Signal Security 

• Lower Bit Error Rate 

Fiber Optics is especially advantageous for long distance communications. The standard CAT 5 network is limited to about 100 

meters. With fiber optics you can extend that range. B&B Electronics Vlinx Serial Servers have options for multi-mode and 

single-mode fiber. Multi-mode fiber extends the range to 2.5 miles (4 km). Single-mode fiber extends the distance to 9 miles or 

15 km. We even have 40 and 80 km options available. Call for details!

Field Application Story: 

Remote Employee Access at Distribution Center 

Bill is the security manager at a large distribution center. His facility uses a card-swipe system 

to control employee access. Recently, the company expanded a parking lot and added an 

additional pedestrian turnstile entry point. The trouble is, the card readers use serial data to 

communicate with a PC on the security network and this entry point was too far away. 

Luckily, Bill just received B&B Electronics catalog, featuring the VESR90x Serial-to-Ethernet 

Servers with fiber optic network connections. Since his fence-line motion sensors were 

networked with multi-mode fiber optics, he simply piggy backed on this network to 

connect the new turnstile to the main PC. The VESR series is also designed for industrial 

applications and feature easy DIN rail mounting, multiple serial port options, and web-based 

management. Thanks to B&B Electronics, the facility is secure and Bill can breathe easy.

• Auto detecting Ethernet 10/100Base-T copper and fiber 

optic connections 

• Operating temp: -34 to 74°C (storage: -40 to 80°C) 


• Management: Multiple TCP/IP client sessions 

Vlinx Modbus Gateways bridge devices on Modbus serial networks (RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485) with those on Modbus TCP 

networks, allowing seamless integration of any Modbus device. Each serial port is accessible over a LAN or WAN by up to 16 

simultaneous Modbus TCP masters. MESR series Modbus Gateways boast an extensive line-up of Ethernet port configurations – 

from standard RJ-45 copper to almost any fiber optic option. Versions are available with an additional Ethernet port that functions 

like an Ethernet switch, allowing pass-through connectivity for other Ethernet devices. The port can be used to “daisy chain” 

multiple gateways. 

Take Advantage of Fiber Optic Options from B&B Electronics! 

MODBUS 

WIDE TEMP 

Vlinx Serial Servers have the largest selection of standard fiber optic port options available. If your Ethernet network is using 

single-mode or multi-mode fiber optics, our serial servers are the natural choice for serial device connectivity. Fiber Optics 

offers the following benefits: 

• Immune to Noise, EMI, RFI 

• No Cross Talk 

• Signal Security 

• Lower Bit Error Rate 

Fiber Optics is especially advantageous for long distance communications. The standard CAT 5 network is limited to about 100 

meters. With fiber optics you can extend that range. B&B Electronics Vlinx Serial Servers have options for multi-mode and 

single-mode fiber. Multi-mode fiber extends the range to 2.5 miles (4 km). Single-mode fiber extends the distance to 9 miles or 

15 km. We even have 40 and 80 km options available. Call for details!

MESR9xx modules can also integrate multiple master 

devices onto serial and Ethernet networks.

Protocol Conversion - Everyone struggles with connectivity issues. A PLC, servo, barcode 

scanner, or a sensor with serial output, something will communicate with a protocol different 

than the other system components. The Vlinx ConnectPro solves these connectivity issues. 

Data Logger - Everyone is trying to improve productivity. Data needs to be gathered, stored, and 

analyzed. Many SCADA systems can do this, but the cost and complexity is prohibitive in many 

applications. The Vlinx Fieldbus Gateway collects the required data and provides it in the 

needed format. VFG2000 and VFG3000 offer additional features beyond VFG1000. CompactFlash 

card slot allows data to be collected and stored in simple CSV file format allowing common 

applications, such as Microsoft Excel and Access, to view and manage the data later. Free 

Websync utility helps synchronize the files with a PC’s hard drive for permanent storage. 

Virtual HMI - Everyone is interested in lowering costs. Knowing what a process or machine is 

doing and making adjustments from a remote location saves time and travel costs. The Vlinx 

ConnectPro’s virtual HMI and Ethernet gateway provides advanced remote monitoring and 

control to any machine - on the network, from across the world. Built-in Web server allows log 

files to be retrieved manually and provides access to the unique "Virtual HMI". Monitor or 

control the HMI using Internet Explorer from a PC anywhere in the world.

Field Application Story: Wind Farms 

3-Port Switches - Up to 3 fiber ports on one compact switch! 

Wind Farms are gaining attention as an energy source that requires no fuel, produces no pollution, and is virtually 

inexhaustible. Wind turbines are linked together for operation and energy monitoring. This poses a unique set of 

challenges since the layout of a wind farm can span across large distances. Keeping the data protected while 

communicating between wind turbines, and also communicating from the base to the top of each, can be achieved 

through fiber optic Ethernet connections. Check out the B&B Electronics full line of Ethernet switches, paying close 

attention to the 8-port versions with 3 fiber ports. Simply put, 3 fiber ports protect In, Out and Up communications in 

the wind farm application. 

B&B Electronic’s Unmanaged Ethernet Switches and Media Converters can be ordered with an almost infinite 

variety of port configurations. Visit www.bb-elec.com/ElinxConfigurator

Gigabit 

B&B Electronics’ line of unmanaged (EIR400 series) and managed (EIR600 series) Ethernet switches address applications 

requiring Gigabit (1000Base) Ethernet. All of these switches are DIN or panel mountable and accommodate two power inputs 

along with an Alarm Relay Output. The –T models are wide temperature rated at -40 to 75ºC. For added flexibility and future 

expansion options, many models support a dual function port, where the copper Ethernet and SFP ports are shared. The wide 

range power input on these models makes each switch suitable for a variety of applications. 

PoE (IEEE 802.3af)-EIRP models only 

PoE stands for Power-over-Ethernet, which is just what it says. Power is transmitted over the Ethernet cable along with the data 

lines. Each PoE switch has a set of ports that is classified as power source equipment (PSE). These ports can be used to power 

IEEE 802.3af compliant powered devices (PD), eliminating the need for a separate power line to be run to each end device. A 

whole new set of applications become feasible with PoE switches due to reduced installation costs through ease of setup and 

the ability to remotely power end devices. Some common Ethernet devices that a PoE may be able to power are: Access Points, 

IP Cameras, Serial Servers, and Ethernet I/O. The PoE ports on these switches follow Alternative A standards and are limited to 

15.4 Watts of power output per port. These switches require a 48VDC power supply.

Overview 

The Elinx EIR500 and EIR600 series Industrial Managed 

Ethernet Switches provide powerful functionality in an IP30 

DIN mount package. Designed for industrial applications, 

these switches contain all the standard features of other 

switches, such at IGMP Snooping, Port Based VLAN, 802.1Q 

Tag VLAN, auto MDI/MDI-X, auto negotiation, store and 

forward switching, STP, RSTP, Web Based Management, Ingress 

Packet Filtering, and Egress Rate Control. 


• Conforms to IEEE 802.3 10Base-T, 802.3u 100Base-TX 

• RJ-45 port supports auto MDI/MDI-X function 

• Wide-range redundant power design on most models 

• DIN rail and wall panel mount design 

• Store-and-Forward switching architecture 

• 4 priority queues per port 

• Port based VLAN / 802.1 Q Tag VLAN 

• IGMP with Query mode for multi media application 

• Supports DHCP client 

• Supports ingress packet filter and egress rate limit 

• Relay alarm output for system events 

Web-based Management 

Each switch has an embedded HTML web site residing in flash 

memory, offering advanced management features and allows 

users to manage the switch from anywhere on the network 

through a standard web browser. 

These managed switches also come with important industrial 

features to ensure reliability in an industrial application. 

Redundant Ring Technology with coupling ring and dual 

homing allows automatic recovery in less than 20ms for EIR600 

series and less than 300ms for EIR500 series. Dual power inputs 

ensure reliability. A alarm output for port failure notification. If 

GIGABIT Ethernet is required, choose a product from the 

EIR600 series. 

• Reverse polarity protection on power inputs 

• Port mirror for TX only 

• IEEE 802.3x flow control 

• Flow control on full-duplex 

• Back pressure on half-duplex 

• Redundant ring recovery time 

• Less than 20ms for EIR600 series 

• Less than 300ms for EIR500 series 

• Simple Network Time protocol (SNTP) 

• IP security for management functions 

• TFTP firmware update and system configuration restore and backup 

• SNMP, Web management, RMON supported 

Port Mirroring 

Port mirroring is a method for monitoring traffic in switched 

networks. Packets transmitted and received by a port can be 

mirrored to another specified port. This allows network 

administrators to monitor traffic. 

VLAN Configuration 

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical network grouping that 

limits the broadcast domain. This allows you to isolate network 

traffic so that members of a VLAN will only receive traffic from 

other members of the same VLAN. Creating a VLAN from a 

switch is the logical equivalent of reconnecting a group of 

network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, since it is 

a virtual network, the network devices remain connected to the 

same switch physically. Both port-based and 802.1Q (taggedbased) 

VLAN are supported. 

IGMP 

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a 

communications protocol used to manage the membership of 

Internet Protocol multicast groups. IGMP is used by IP hosts to 

establish multicast group memberships. This allows the port to 

detect IGMP query and report packets and manage IP multicast 

traffic through the switch.

Field Application Story: Electrical Substations 

A power company in the Rockies uses Ethernet switches from B&B Electronics to remotely monitor and manage hard-to-reach 

substations. No need to send a maintenance electrician out every time something needs to be reprogrammed. 

Electricity - we don’t think about it until it's missing. An electrical power substation uses transformers to “step 

down” high voltages from the transmission grid to lower levels for distribution to homes and businesses. A bus splits 

electricity to distribution lines. Circuit breakers and switches can disconnect it from the transmission grid or the 

distribution lines for maintenance, or because of fault conditions such as lighting, overloads, or equipment damage. 

These power faults must be identified and resolved quickly in order to restore power - and profit. 

Check out B&B Electronics full line of Industrial Ethernet Managed Switches. With reliable, ultra-fast recovery, 

see why these switches will keep your applications, and your revenue, up and running.

Redundant Ring Group of Industrial Ethernet Switches 

Elinx Industrial Switches 

These industrial switches incorporate a 

proprietary redundant ring protocol 

that helps your network recover from 

connection failures within 20ms for 

EIR600 series and 300ms for EIR500 

series. The redundant ring algorithm is 

much like the spanning tree protocol 

(STP) algorithm but it has a much 

faster recovery time. 

• Dual Homing prevents loss of 

connectivity between the redundant 

ring and the upper level switch. 

• Coupling Ring connects two 

redundant rings together to create 

additional redundancy.

Media converters allow two Ethernet devices with different 

physical media to communicate with each other. In most 

applications the media converter converts a copper Ethernet 

connection to fiber media. The fiber media could be multimode 

or single-mode fiber and usually consists of an ST or SC 

style connector. Some common reasons for using media 

converters are Ethernet extension, noise immunity, and 

protection against surges and spikes. 

Have you ever needed to convert your multi-mode fiber into 

single-mode fiber due to equipment upgrades or pre-existing 

EIR102-xT 

EIR102-xT-xC 

fiber runs? Or have you simply needed to extend Ethernet 

beyond its normal capabilities? B&B Electronics also offers 

media converters with fiber-to-fiber conversions. This is 

extremely handy for retrofit applications with existing fiber 

where new equipment uses an opposite fiber type. 

You may even find that some new applications require a 

mixture of single-mode and multi-mode fiber due to 

equipment used or budgetary reasons. Choose from many 

in-stock port combinations – or configure and price your port 

needs online.

Extend Ethernet distances 

Media converters do more than just convert copper Ethernet signals to fiber. They allow the Ethernet LAN to be extended 

beyond the normal 100 meter limit. By using a pair of media converters, LANs can be extended up to 2km with multi-mode 

fiber and up to 20km with single-mode fiber. Extension of LAN distances now make it possible to communicate with remotely 

located Ethernet enabled devices that were not formerly possible to reach in the past. The application could be as simple as 

getting data from one end of the warehouse to the other, tying two buildings together, enabling communications in a tank farm, 

or monitoring a SCADA system at a waste water plant. 

Isolate and protect 

Another great benefit inherently built into a media converter is the isolation factor. Since the data is communicating via a fiber 

optic connection, the data is transmitted by light – therefore no conductive wires connect the far ends of the system. This 

eliminates the potential for ground loop problems and offers additional protection from RFI/EMI interference that may be 

present along the cable run. 

Choose between rugged DIN rail mount or desk/wall/rack mount designs 

From rugged DIN rail mount designs to traditional desk/wall/rack mount designs B&B Electronics has a media converter that 

will fit your application needs. Besides the EIR-x-xx and EIS-x-xx models found on these pages, B&B Electronics also offers the 

EIR102 series. If you are looking for the most robust features in a DIN rail or panel-mount design, the EIR-x-xx series is the 

product for you. For applications not requiring wide temperature ranges or built-in alarms, the EIS-x-xx series is the logical 

choice. The EIR102 series offers the most flexible port options in a high-feature, DIN rail design.

ADAM-6541 

ADAM-6542/W13 

Conquer long distances and noisy environments with this 

industrial grade Ethernet copper to fiber converter 

Model ADAM-6541 is an industrial grade converter, designed 

to transparently convert copper Ethernet signals into fiber 

optic signals. This provides wide bandwidth, surge and spike 

protection, and long-distance transmission capability. The unit 

auto-detects transmission speed. Both the copper and fiber 

ports have memory buffers. It operates on 10 to 30 VDC. 

Flexible mounting via DIN rail, flat panel, or it can piggy-back 

on other ADAM modules. 

Single-strand media converters reduces cabling costs 

Are you faced with a single operating fiber cable and the need 

to duplex over it? This pair of media converters can be the 

answer. A converter on each end of the fiber takes the Ethernet 

signal from copper to fiber and from fiber back to copper, but 

with each end transmitting single-mode on a slightly different 

frequency. The opposite end receives only on that frequency. 

So the two signals pass both ways at once through the single 

strand without interference. RFI/EMI resistance and 12.4 miles 

(20 km) range of fiber. Proper communication requires 

purchase of a pair of these units – one Model 

ADAM-6542/W13 and one Model ADAM-6542/W15.

line is ideal for data acquisition, control, and Ethernet I/O applications requiring 

unmanaged, affordable products. 104TX, 105TX, and 108TX copper switches offer compact, 

unmanaged Ethernet switches ideal for increasing network bandwidth and determinism. 

Multi-mode and single-mode fiber models are available with N-TRON’s 102MC media 

converter, 105FX five-port switch, and 106FX2 six-port switch. UL listed for use in Class I, 

Division 2 hazardous locations. Select models are ABS approved for maritime 

environments, and EN50155 certified for railway applications. 

The 100 series recently introduced industrial hardened, PoE splitters. These units can 

power products that would otherwise require a dedicated power drop deployed with only 

a Cat5 cable. A PoE sourcing device (such as N-TRON’s 100-POE-4 Midspan or 105TX-POE 

end span) provides PoE via a Cat5 cable and, at the other end, a 100-POE-SPL splits the 

power and Ethernet power a legacy non-PoE device. This is ideal an solution where it is 

difficult or expensive to run power, or for temporary installations

Advanced Management Features 

Ease of setup means IGMP snooping and query auto-detect modes enabled by default. Along with enhancements like dynamic 

router discovery and master/slave redundancy for query detection, means seamless formation of IGMP groups across multiple 

switches. These features will reduce or eliminate additional configuration requirements typically required with other vendors’ 

switches. 

N-View OPC Server Software 

The N-View software will work with industry standard OPC client software and most popular HMI packages to provide 

complete remote network traffic and status monitoring. The software can be used to provide meaningful alias names to all 

ports and help identify the location of the switches and equipment connected to the ports. 

The software can be configured to report the status, traffic and error conditions of the network. HMI software packages can use 

this information in alarming and trending functions.

Fully Managed Fast Ethernet 

The N-TRON 700 series fully managed industrial fast Ethernet switches are 

affordably priced yet offer outstanding management and monitoring features 

necessary to simplify configuration and diagnostics. They are ideally suited for use 

as a Ring Manager or anywhere a managed switch is required. When used as a 

Ring Manager, N-TRON’s N-Ring technology provides detailed fault diagnostics, 

expanded ring size capacity, and ~30ms ring healing. Industrial hardened 

construction and -40˚C to 70˚C operating temperature allow use in the harshest 

environments. UL Listed for Class I, Division 2 Hazardous locations, and EN50155 

certified for railway applications. In addition to ATEX Type Certification, the 

708TX and 708FX2 are ABS and DNV Type approved for maritime environments. 

Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) Messaging 

EtherNet/IP, better known as Common 

Industrial Protocol (CIP), was designed to 

eliminate the need for vendor specific device 

software and provide consistent device access, 

management and monitoring in process control 

and industrial automation applications. CIP tags, 

sample projects, and diagnostic faceplates for 

FactoryTalk® View ME software (requires 

RSLogix 5000 version 17 and higher) allow 

quick setup and configuration in RSLogix 5000 

environments. With CIP messaging, N-TRON

USB 

USB – Universal Serial Bus 

A convenient and reliable way to combine 

your new PC and legacy equipment 

Isolators 

Converters 

USB supports high data rates, plug-and-play connections, noise 

immunity, and “hot swappability” providing an easy 

connection to a wide variety of multimedia and network USB 

devices. 

But what if you still have good equipment designed to use 

RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 serial communications? How can you 

monitor and control it from a modern USB equipped PC? 

B&B Electronics has your answer - converters, adapters, cards, 

hubs, surge protectors, boosters and isolators that connect your 

USB PC to your legacy equipment so you can use both to your 

greatest advantage. 

Universal Serial Bus is a serial protocol and physical layer link. 

Data is transmitted differentially on one pair of wires, 

providing relatively good noise immunity. Another pair carries 

DC power to downstream devices, allowing many low power 

devices to be bus powered. 


• Typical Data Rates: 12 Mbps (USB 1.1); 480 Mbps (USB 2.0) 

• Max Distance: 5 meters 

• Cabling Requirements: Standardized peripheral cable 

• Connectors: Type A upstream, Type B downstream 

Pros 

• Plug-and-play connectivity 

• Hot swapping 

• High data rates 

• Noise immunity 

• Available on most newer PCs 

Cons 

• 5 meters maximum distance 

• Not always isolated 

• Not often available on industrial/commercial devices 

• Lack of locking connectors

Locked Serial Numbers Explained 

B&B Electronics offers one-port USB to serial products in two formats. The standard (original) format 

offers each unit as Serialized - each individual product has a unique serial number. The second format uses 

the same serial number for all units of the same model type - Locked Serial Numbers. Why do we offer 

both? Different applications demand different functionality.

Stepping up to wireless? 

We’ll help you pick the wireless 

option you can trust! 

In the past, it has not always been possible, practical, or cost effective 

to run network cables to every device, to a sensor several miles away, 

or to a roving unit on the factory floor. Today’s wireless technologies 

eliminate those physical and costly barriers, opening a new world of 

remote communication solutions. Reliable, on-demand communication 

with control and monitoring down to an individual embedded 

machine-level sensor is now possible with wireless networking! 

As wireless network equipment emerges, interest and demand in 

using wireless in industrial environments has surged. Yet, 

understanding the technical aspects of various wireless technologies 

and standards is essential in choosing suitable equipment for your 

application. Selecting the right equipment will lead to a successfully 

installed, well-designed, reliable and efficient communication system.

Follow these steps to select the best Zlinx products 

for your application: 

Step 

1 

2.4 GHz Radios 

- Select Radio Frequency: 

Line-of-Sight is critical for wireless communications. Radio Frequency signals attenuate with distance. Factors 

such as weather, obstructions, humidity, etc. can affect range. 900 MHz signals reach farther distances 

compared to 2.4 GHz radio signals. The tables below offer guidance in selecting the radio frequency based on 

your inter-distance between the radios and the environment. 

Note that while high gain antennas increase the distance, there are also signal losses across antenna cables 

and connectors.

– Determine Indoor or Outdoor Radios: 

c) Does your application require 

Modbus connectivity to remote I/Os? 

A Zlinx Radio Modem can be used to 

connect multiple remote wireless Zlinx 

I/O modules to a Modbus RTU master 

such as a PLC, SCADA or HMI. (In one 

network, all Zlinx modules MUST be the 

same frequency.) 

Indoor radios are preferred when a cabinet is available and DIN mounting is possible. Where cabinets are 

not possible or expensive, or when panel mount is the only option, outdoor radios must be chosen. Indoor 

and outdoor radios of the same frequency are compatible. Based on your application requirements, 

determine whether indoor or outdoor or a combination of both is necessary. 

– Do You Have More I/O Points? 

Indoor versions of Zlinx I/Os are expandable. If your I/O count is more than available in any base I/O 

modules (Model: ZZxD-Nx-xR), you can add up to 6 expansion modules to the base module. See page 82 

for I/O expansion module options. 

– Choose Wireless Accessories: 

If ‘Yes’, select two identical Zlinx I/O 

modules (p82). 

If ‘Yes’, select 1 Zlinx Radio Modem 

(p83), and one or more Zlinx I/O 

modules (p82) as necessary. 

See Pages 82-83 for indoor, standard Zlinx radio modems, base I/O, and expansion modules. 

(To program indoor I/O modules, ZZ-PROG1-USB programming kit MUST be purchased. - see p82) 

See Page 79 for IP67 outdoor Zlinx Xtreme radio modems and I/O modules. 

(Zlinx Xtreme modules have a built-in USB programming port. A USB cable MUST be purchased, #USBAMBM-6F recommended - see p79) 

Standard supplied Omni antennas would cover a limited distance based on the environmental factors. Where 

more distance needs to be covered, High Gain Omni or Yagi antennas may be necessary. To use optional high 

gain antennas or to extend the supplied antenna to an elevated location, antenna cables, connectors may be 

necessary. If the location is lightning prone, lightning arrestors may be necessary.

Water Well Monitoring - Monitor and adjust water levels, temperature, PH, and more 

Challenge 

Water treatment is one of the world’s largest growing markets. As the US population increases, new water wells are vital. Chemical 

injection points are constantly added to safe-guard existing water systems and monitor for dangerous chemicals. At B&B Electronics, we 

recognize the value of this natural resource and developed the Zlinx® product line and related application kits to help maximize ROI 

and efficiency of water wells and injection points. 

Solution Zlinx Wireless I/O - from B&B Electronics 

With B&B Electronics Zlinx wireless I/O products, manual well monitoring can be turned into a highly efficient automated system to 

monitor and control pH, ORP, conductivity, temperature, water levels, flow, and more. Technicians no longer make time-consuming field 

calls to remote wells or injection points. These expandable products can use a cellular gateway to transmit data by cell phone or internet 

when the system is in trouble. So where did B&B Electronics turn to for product design guidance? Apart from customer feedback and 

needs, we asked one of our wireless engineers, who lives in the Arizona desert and designed a Zlinx system for his neighborhood water 

supply. An interesting white paper describing the application in detail, “Wireless Well System – A Simple Solution for a Tough Problem, 

“ is available at www.bb-elec.com/WirelessWellKit

Class 1 Div2 Fuel Tank Gauging - Safe, remote, accurate monitoring of petroleum inventories 

Challenge 

As world fuel consumption increases, oil and gas companies are trying to make the supply chain as efficient as possible. One of the simplest 

applications to automate is tank gauging practices at fuel terminals. In many cases, technicians still gauge tank levels manually for inventory 

purposes. Gauging entails numerous safety regulations, with equipment meeting Class 1 Division 2 approvals – and valuable time! 

Solution Zlinx Wireless Radio Modems - from B&B Electronics 

The good news is that Zlinx radio modems, designed and manufactured by B&B Electronics, are Class 1 Division 2 approved. This wireless 

technology helps solve outdated tank gauging problems. With Zlinx radio modems, a technician can monitor multiple tanks at a glance from 

the office, and use his time for more productive tasks.

Wireless Proprietary RF 

R.F. Antenna and Cable Selection 

When designing an antenna system there are several items to 

consider. Factors that affect the performance of the antennas 

are highlighted below. An RF communications system should 

be designed such that more than the absolute minimum signal 

level arrives at the receiver. This will allow some “link margin” 

in situations where conditions change and the environment 

degrades the signal. 

Wireless 

Radio Output Power. RF power is rated in watts or milliwatts. 

Typical B&B Electronics Zlinx products are rated in 

1mw, 10mw, 100mw, 500mw and 1watt, outputs. As RF power 

increases so will the current demand on the power supplying 

your system. 

Antenna Type. If at all possible your system’s antennas should 

be able to “see” each other. This is not always possible so it’s 

critical to select the proper antenna components to keep signal 

loss or decrease receive sensitivity. If obstacles are present, you 

may consider a higher gain antenna. 

Radio Receive Sensitivity. Receive sensitivity is basically the 

ability to detect and decode a specific radio frequency. 

Typically this is measured in dBm - the lower the better. 

Typical Zlinx products are approximately -114dBm. 

Transmit/Receive Distance. Keep in mind that if you have lots 

of transmit power but poor receive sensitivity, bidirectional 

communication may be a problem. The type of cable and 

antenna used will affect the receive sensitivity and RF output 

power. 

Cable Impedance. It’s important to select a cable that matches 

the radio’s impedance. A mismatch will cause the radio link to 

become inefficient or may cause damage to the radio. 

More is Not Better… 

Keeping the above in mind, one of the most important 

components in an antenna system is the transmission cable. 

The wrong type, wrong impedance, wrong length, etc., and 

your system could go south quick. When selecting RF coax 

type cable keep cable runs as short as possible. Long cable runs 

will cause additional signal loss. 

Peer to Peer vs. Peer to Multi-Peer… 

When selecting an antenna also keep in mind the type of 

system architecture. Simple systems, such as peer-to-peer, can 

be easily designed using Yagi antennas on both ends. A multipeer 

system, such as a Modbus master to several slave devices, 

Cable Type. Selecting the incorrect cable could cause 

significant signal loss. A rule of thumb is for every 3db of loss, 

your system will lose one half the output power emitted from 

the radio. Visit our antenna selection tech paper a helpful 

selection guide and more information: 

www.bb-elec.com/techpapers. 

Obstacles. Obstacles are always a problem. General rule: Try 

to avoid them. When placing an antenna, keep in mind that 

trees grow, new buildings are constructed. Plan for future 

obstructions. 

needs a little more thought. When designing a multi-peer 

system the master needs to communicate to all the respective 

slave devices. This is typically accomplished by designing an 

omni-directional antenna on the master and Yagi antennas 

pointing at the master antenna. 

Antenna Selection… 

The same rule applies for the gain of an antenna: for every 3db 

of gain, you will double the effective radiated power out of the 

respective antenna. A gain of 8.1db using a 100wm radio is 

approximately 270mw of output power. (Keep in mind we 

have not included any cable or connector losses.)

The terrain can dramatically affect the attenuation rate of a signal. 

Certain assumptions were made in calculating these ranges: A 0.4 dB loss was factored in for each connector. Two connectors are used to attach an 

RF cable. Cables are one continuous run. Antenna elevation was not factored in beyond the definition of the terrain. Weather was not factored in.

702M12-W 

N-TRON’s 702-W and 702M12-W Industrial Wireless Ethernet Radios offer the highest throughput of any industrial wireless device 

currently available. IEEE 802.11n support allows these radios to utilize three antennas and Multiple In, Multiple Out (MIMO) 

technology for increased throughput, yielding much higher data rates than devices supporting only 802.11a/b/g. 

N-TRON’s wireless devices also support 802.11a/b/g compatibility for existing wireless networks. The 702M12-W’s IP67 rated 

enclosure with M12 connectors provides complete protection against dust, water jets, and temporary immersion in water making it 

ideal for outdoor, wash down, or extremely dusty environments. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology enables the 702-W or 

702M12-W to receive power throught Cat5e cable from PoE sourcing devices. Network deployments are easier using wireless and 

PoE technology because only one Cat5e cable is required. Radios are UL listed for use in Class1, Division 2 hazardous locations.

The XPress Ethernet Bridge is available either as a point-to-point matched pair (two modems) or a multipoint transceiver. Pointto-point 

is ideal for applications needing to wirelessly connect only two nodes. If the application requires (or, in the future, may 

require) connecting more than two nodes, the multipoint model is an excellent option. Each multipoint model has a DIP switch 

for easy configuration as an access point (base radio) or subscriber unit (remote radio). Includes power supply and PoE injector.

Cellular Technology – The Alphabet Soup Explained 

Nothing makes selecting a product more difficult than navigating through datasheets filled with acronyms. Unlike most 

technophiles, I absolutely hate acronyms. All technologies have their fair share of random letters grouped together that mean 

something to somebody. But it appears that the engineers in charge of cellular technology got in line twice when the letters were 

being handed out. And they don’t even sound cool… at least you can pronounce ASCII… 

The most confusion comes when discussing the type of cellular network. When you ask 

somebody this question, they will usually answer with the company they send the bill to. 

But, the answer is actually GSM or CDMA. 

GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communications. It is the most 

popular standard for cell phone networks in the world. This is the standard that 

AT&T uses in the U.S. It is also very popular with most international carriers. 

Besides the technical difference that I will not go into, GSM networks require a 

SIM card. SIM stands for Subscriber Identity Module. As the name implies, this 

card identifies your device on the network. 

CDMA is short for Code Division Multiple Access. This system is mainly used 

in the U.S. CDMA systems do not use a SIM card. Instead, your device needs to be 

programmed. The CDMA network is used by Sprint and Verizon in the U.S. 

Now for the G’s… GSM and CDMA are both 2G networks. The “G” stands for 

Generation. The first generation was called AMPS. It was an analog network used way 

back in the 80’s. Second generation GSM and CDMA networks are digital and can handle 

voice and data - data being what we care about. 2G networks are relatively slow. Third 

Generation, or 3G networks are faster and can deliver data at speeds comparable to your home 

DSL router or better.

Bridges 

Cellular 

Routers 

There are several types of 3G networks. 

EV-DO: This stands for Evolution-Data Optimized. It is associated with CDMA networks and can deliver data at speeds 

ranging from 144 Kbps to 2 Mbps. 

UMTS and HSDPA: UMTS stands for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. HSDPA stands for High-Speed Downlink 

Packet Access. These are upgrades to GSM networks, and like EV-DO, they provide high speed data throughput. Without 

getting technical, the only difference between the two is that HSDPA is faster than UMTS and is sometimes called 3.5G. In the 

U.S., AT&T offers both UMTS and HSDPA. 

In between 3G and 2G are the “2.5G” networks. These are generally good enough for most industrial and 

commercial applications. A variation of the CDMA standard is 1xRTT, or “1 times Radio Transmission 

Technology.” It delivers speeds between 30 Kbps and 90 Kbps. On the GSM side are GPRS and EDGE. 

GPRS stands for General Packet Radio Service. EDGE is short for Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution. 

They also deliver between 30 and 90 Kbps data rates.

Remote I/O 


Analog and Digital Remote I/O 

Data Acquisition Systems, by definition are designed to gather 

and store data. However, this has led many plant managers 

and engineers to spend substantial money on systems that do 

just that - gather data - but are good for little else. In reality, 

data acquisition is not the purpose of DAQ systems - obtaining 

Mission Critical Information (MCI), is. Industrial plants, 

manufacturers, and producers do not need to simply know the 

temperature, pressure, or production volume of any given 

piece of equipment in their plant; they need to know what that 

data means and how it relates to their operations. Data 

acquisition modules from B&B Electronics handle a broad 

range of analog and digital remote I/O and deliver that data 

over serial, Ethernet, USB or wireless connections. Compact, 

low cost modules fit a variety of applications to monitor 

sensors and control processes or equipment.

Zlinx ® Wireless and Wired I/O from 

B&B Electronics feature plug-and-play modules 

combined with Modbus RTU remote analog and discrete 

I/O. Each system consists of a wireless or wired base 

unit and expansion modules with a wide variety of 

digital and analog I/O. Wireless Base Modules are 

available in short, medium, and long range versions. 

The ADAM-5000 series monitors and controls processes 

through multi-channel I/O modules. One system consists 

of a main (base) unit plus up to 4 or 8 modular 

components. Base models come with communications 

ports configured either with RS-485 or Ethernet. 

Expansion modules contain a wide variety of analog and 

digital I/O.

Signal 

Conditioners 

Digital I/O Sometimes referred to as discrete I/O, these input and 

output types are much easier for a micro-processor-based DAQ 

system to use since they are already a binary signal. Digital I/O 

uses voltage level changes from high to low (or vice versa).

Relay 

Sinking & Sourcing: When choosing a Digital I/O module, it is 

important to have an understanding of these terms. A sinking device 

provides a path for the current to ground and is not responsible for 

powering the device. Terms used to describe sinking devices include 

NPN, Open Collector, and Normally High. A sourcing device 

provides the power or a positive potential. Sourcing devices ‘push’ 

the current through the load. Terms used to describe sourcing devices 

include PNP, Open Emitter, and Normally Low. B&B Electronics’ 

Zlinx modules with “NA” or “NB” in model numbers feature 

Sourcing digital outputs. Zlinx modules with “NC” or “ND” within 

model numbers feature Sinking digital outputs. 

When selecting digital I/O, know that not all manufacturers define 

sinking and sourcing the same way. In general, Sinking/ Sourcing 

describes a current signal flow relationship between field 

input/output devices in a control system and their power supply. 

Sourcing I/O modules supply (or source) current to sinking field 

devices. Sinking I/O modules receive (or sink) current from 

sourcing field devices. However, always consult your device’s 

manual to determine required I/O. 

Counter inputs might be used to count the rotations of a motor. As 

the name implies, successive pulses increment a counter. Using this 

information, a frequency or pulse rate can readily be determined. 

Counters are characterized by their number of bits. In an X-bit 

counter, the maximum number of counts is equal to 2 raised to the X 

power. Example: a 16-bit counter can count up to 2 to the 16th power 

or 65,536.

815.433.5100 

Relays: A relay is a device in which power applied to a coil or input 

terminal causes the path between contacts open or close. These 

contacts are designed for interrupting and applying power to larger 

loads (i.e., integral horsepower motors) and significant resistance 

loads (i.e., lighting and heaters). Relays outputs come in several 

variations: 

Form A – Single Pole, Single Throw, Normally Open 

Form B – Single Pole, Single Throw, Normally Closed 

Form C – Single Pole, Double Throw, Break-before-make 

Analog I/O: Digital computers have replaced analog recording and 

display technologies in all but the simplest data acquisition 

applications. However, these computers speak only the binary 

language of ones and zeroes. Manufacturing processes and natural 

phenomena, however, are still analog by their very nature. To be 

manipulated by a computer, analog measurements such as pressure, 

temperature, or flow rate, must be translated into a digital 

equivalent. 

Analog I/O 

Current - Voltage - Resolution - Temperature 

Voltage: Common voltage signals used in the controls industry are 

1-5 VDC, 2-10 VDC, 3-15 VDC, 0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC and 0-15 VDC. 

Current: The 4-20 mA signal is the industry standard current signal 

for use with analog and digital controllers. A variation of the 4-20 

mA signal is 0-20 mA. 

Resolution: ADC devices are defined by the resolution, ranging 

from 8-bit to 32-bit. Obviously, the higher the resolution, the higher 

your rate of accuracy and data integrity. But it also means your costs 

will be higher. Because of this, it is essential to calculate exactly what 

your sampling rates will really be and balance that within budget. 

Further information on data sampling, including how to calculate 

your resolution needs, can be found in our paper, “The Fine Art of 

Analog Signal Sampling.”

Data Acquisition – Analog and Digital Remote I/O 

Temperature: Temperature inputs come in two variations, 

Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) or Thermocouple. 

RTD: Simply put, an RTD is sensor used to measure temperature by 

correlating an elements resistance with temperature. RTD elements 

consist of a length of fine wire coiled around a ceramic or glass core. 

The wire is made of a pure material with a defined resistance. 

Platinum is the most popular and accurate. Copper is also used in 

some instances. A Pt100 sensor has a resistance of 100 ohms at 0°C 

and is by far the most common type of RTD sensor. A Pt1000 has 

1000 ohms resistance at 0°C. Copper RTD’s are usually built at 10 

ohms (CU10). Because of this low resistance, measured temperatures 

spans must be large to get an adequate signal. Therefore, CU10 RTD 

use is limited to devices such as motors or transformers. 

2-Wire RTD - The lowest cost method is to keep the signal 

conditioner close enough to the sensor so the copper wire 

resistance change does not introduce an excessive error in the 

measurement. 

3-Wire RTD - Lead compensation with 3 wires requires 2 

conductors attached to one end of the RTD and a single conductor 

on the other end. This method requires the 3 lead wires to track 

each other in resistance change versus ambient temperature. It is 

effective for a total copper lead resistance equal to about 10% of the 

RTD value. The error introduced increases proportionally as the 

lead wire length increases. 

Analog Signals 

Level – the analog level gives important information, 

such as the intensity of a light source, pressure in a 

chamber, or temperature in room. 

5V 

4-Wire RTD - A 4 wire input provides the most accurate 

measurement. Excitation current flows through 2 wires and the 

other 2 wires are used to measure the voltage across the RTD. The 

wire leads have no influence on the accuracy of the measurement. 

Thermocouple: Based on the principle that when two dissimilar 

metals are joined, a predictable voltage will be generated that 

relates to the difference in temperature between the measuring 

junction and the reference junction (connection to the measuring 

device). The selection of the optimum thermocouple type (metals 

used in their construction) is based on application temperature, 

atmosphere, required length of service, accuracy and cost. 

Thermocouple Type Temperature Range Temperature Range 

IEC Color Code (Short Term) (Continuous) 

E – Purple -400 to +900°C 0 to +800°C 

J – Black -180 to +800°C 0 to +700°C 

K – Green -180 to +1300°C 0 to +100°C 

T – Brown -250 to +400°C -185 to +300°C 

Frequency – Analog signals can be characterized by their frequency. 

When frequency is important, acquisition speed must be considered.

Signal 

Conditioners 

Shape – the shape of an analog signal can be as important as the level. By measuring 

the shape, the DC value, peak, and slope can be determined. This is of particular 

interest when the value changes rapidly. Sounds and vibration are some applications. 

Digital Signals 

ON 

State – The state of a digital signal is essentially the level of 

the signal [on or off, hi or low]. A common application is 

monitoring the condition of a switch [open or closed]. 

OFF 

Rate – The rate of a digital signal is determined by measuring how it changes state with respect 

to time. A common application is determining how fast a motor shaft spins. Unlike Analog 

Frequency, digital rate measures how often a signal occurs and an algorithm in not required.

acquisition and control systems 

The ADAM series modules are compact, versatile sensor-tocomputer 

interface units designed specifically for reliable 

operation in harsh environments. Their built-in microprocessors, 

encased in rugged industrial grade plastic, independently 

provide intelligent signal conditioning, analog I/O and digital 

I/O via RS-485 serial or Ethernet communications. 

Remotely programmable input ranges 

The ADAM series modules stand out because of their ability to 

accommodate multiple types and ranges of input. The type and 

range can be remotely selected by issuing commands from a 

host computer. One type of module satisfies many different 

tasks, which greatly simplifies design and maintenance. A 

single kind of module can handle the measurement needs of a 

whole plant. Since all the modules are remotely configured by 

the host computer, physical adjustments are unnecessary.

Watchdog timer inside 

A watchdog timer supervisory function will automatically reset 

the ADAM series modules if required, which reduces the need 

for maintenance. 

Modular industrial design 

The ADAM series modules offer flexible mounting options, 

including DIN rail mounting, panel mounting or piggybacking. 

Signal connections are made through plug-in screw terminal 

blocks, ensuring simple installation, modification and 

maintenance. 

Ready for the industrial environment 

The ADAM series modules accept any unregulated power 

source between 10 and 30 VDC. They are protected from 

accidental power supply reversals and can be safely connected 

or disconnected without disturbing a running network.

ADAM 6000 Ethernet I/O Modules – 

Powerful Features: Peer to Peer 

and Graphic Conditional Logic (GCL) 

What is Peer to Peer? 

Peer to peer enabled modules actively update input channel status to specific output channels. Users can define the mapping 

between input and output channels then the input value will be transferred to the output channel actively. 

Remote I/O 

What Benefits do Peer to Peer Modules Provide? 

No Controller Required. 

The Controller can be removed since the data will automatically transfer simplifying the data transfer process and saving hardware 

cost. 

No Additional Programming Required 

To use the Peer to Peer feature the only thing required is to configure the settings through the free, easy-to-use ADAM.NET utility. 

No additional programming is needed saving development time. 

Simple and Flexible Wiring 

If the PLC and sensors are far apart, the remote I/O modules located near the sensors have to communicate through complex often 

proprietary PLC communication networks and cabling. Peer to peer modules can replace limited and closed networks with no 

limitations since they leverage open and flexible Ethernet networks and infrastructure. With the built-in web server, data can be 

viewed anytime, anywhere via the internet. 

What is GCL? 

GCL (Graphics Condition Logic) give Ethernet I/O modules control ability. Up to 16 logic rules can be defined and downloaded to 

the module though the free ADAM.NET utility. The Ethernet module will execute the logic rules automatically just like a 

standalone controller. In the configuration environment there are 4 stages of on logic rule: Input, Logic, Execution and Output. 

What Benefits does GCL provide? 

No controller needed saving cost and complexity 

Easy Graphical configuration environment, no additional programming is needed 

Active and real time I/O messaging and event notification to address trends and issues as they occur 

Combine different logic rules to fulfill more complex applications without a separate controller 

Pre-built mathematic function in analog input modules including scaling to convert to real world unit values

GCL Typical Application: Water Tank Control 

Two ADAM-6000 modules are the only hardware used for this automation 

application - no other controller or computer required. ADAM-6017 module is 

located on the rooftop, connecting to the water level sensor in the tower. 

ADAM-6050 module is located in the basement, controlling the water pump. 

The two ADAM modules are connected across the building’s Ethernet 

network - no extra wiring is needed. GCL is running on the ADAM-6017 

module, continuously comparing the water level with a specific limit value. 

If the water level is less than the limit value, it will trigger the ADAM-6050 

module’s D/O channel to start the pump and fill water tank. No need to write 

any program. It takes less than 5 minutes to complete the configuration using 

the ADAM.NET Utility.

Economically Priced! 

Energy Star Certified! 

New! Atom-based CPU! 

Advantech’s New Atom-based Fanless Box PC series, UNO-2173A and UNO-2173AF, are 

equipped with Intel® Atom 1.6 GHz CPUs, Gigabit Ethernet ports, rich I/O, and 1 x Mini 

PCIe socket. They also feature WLAN, 3G expansion and compatibility with Windows 7 and 

Moblin (Mobile Linux distributed by Intel). Both products have Energy Star certification, 

IP40 anti-dust ingress protection and wide operating temperatures (-20 ~ 70° C) for high 

performance and high versatility with low power consumption. The UNO-2173A and UNO- 

2173AF are economic new computing platforms for manufacturing executing systems, 

facility automation, in-vehicle, and industrial thin client applications. 

Control/HMI 

Fanless Design 

The UNO-series are robust computers with 

no rotating parts, like CPU fans, system fans, 

power supply fans or HDDs. This 

significantly increases reliability, extends 

MTTR, and drastically reduces maintenance 

efforts. No worries about CPU cooler or 

HDD failures, even in dusty environments. 

No Internal Cabling 

Unlike general box PC designs where cables 

are used for wiring between connectors and 

CPU boards, UNO-series connectors are 

soldered directly on the PCB - no internal 

cabling inside the chassis. This makes them 

much more reliable in harsh environments. 

Industrial-grade Power 

Fanless Box PCs are designed to accept wide 

PC power input (ex. 9~36VDC) in factory 

floors. They also feature power reversal 

protection to prevent system damage when 

power inputs are reversed.

Variations on pre-configured models are available. Call for details!

Overview 

By combining standard RJ-45 connection technology with the 

industrially-proven form factor, these industrial Ethernet 

connectivity products provide a line-up designed to safeguard 

the integrity of your data even in the harshest manufacturing, 

processing or commercial settings. 

Protect data signals against vibration, contaminants, electromagnetic 

interference (EMI), wide temperature ranges and 

chemicals. The screw-on connectors lock and seal cables in 

place. Choose a pre-built cord set, or build your own with the 

field attachable connectors. Also make connections in and out 

of the industrial cabinet easy with a pass-through receptacle. 

For OEM applications use the direct PCB mount receptacles for 

sealed and solid connections.

Duplex Fiber Optic Couplers and Adapters 

Duplex Fiber optic couplers and adapters are used to connect two fiber assemblies together (2 fibers each). When connecting like 

fiber assemblies together these are referred to as couplers and when connecting two unlike fiber assemblies together these are 

called adapters. Note that these are offered in Multi-mode and Single-mode options. Single-mode parts will work with both 

Multi-mode and Single-mode fiber, but Multi-mode versions will only work with Multi-mode fiber.

Fiber Optic Cable Tester 

Test fiber cable on the roll or installed 

It is important to check fiber optic cables for continuity both on 

the roll and after installation. This visible LED pulsing light 

source connects to one end of a fiber optic cable and is bright 

enough to be easily seen at the other end, yet won’t hurt your 

eyes. Signal can be set for either steady or unique flashing 

mode, which makes tracing cables easier in a crowded cabinet. 

Easily connects to most 2.5 mm ferrule F-O couplers- ST, SC, 

RSD, and FSD. Uses one 9 V battery (included). 

Compact size: 10.2 x 6.1 x 2.5 cm (4.0 x 2.4 x 1.0 in). 

Order fiber cable separately.

LED Mini Tester 

Know which RS-232 data lines are active 

This RS-232 mini tester is designed to connect in series with any 

RS-232 interface. Bright red or green LED signals clearly show 

which lines are active. The LEDs’ color indicates negative or 

positive voltage (red meaning negative, green meaning positive). 

Mini testers are used to check the interface for failures and to 

help identify the equipment that has failed. The tester may be 

left in the line permanently. It is transparent to data transfer. 

Seven LEDs indicate the status of the following lines: TD, RD, 

RTS, CTS, DSR, DTR, and CD. Model 9PMTT has male and 

female DB9 connectors. 

Dimensions: 2.0 x 2.14 x .63 in (5.0 x 5.4 x 1.6 cm)

RS-232 Breakout Box 

LED display monitors signals 

Reconfigure your RS-232 interfaces with this LED display 

breakout box Test and rewire your RS-232 interfaces with this 

portable, pocket-size BreakOut Box. It provides access to all 25 

conductors of the RS-232/V.24 interface between the data 

terminal and data communications equipment. The LEDs 

monitor the status of ten primary signals: TD(2), RD(3), RTS(4), 

CTS(5), DSR(6), CD(8), TC(15), RC(17), DTR(20), ETC(24), and 

two additional LEDs for spares. 

Twenty-four miniature switches allow all interface conductors 

(except frame ground on pin 1) to be individually interrupted 

for isolated testing and observation of terminal and modem 

signals. Small jumper cables are provided to allow cross 

connection of signal lines. DB25M on one end, DB25F on the 

other end.

Xtreme Wireless I/Os to a Modbus RTU Master over a wireless network 

for point-to-point/peer-to-peer (P2P) or point-to-multi-point/peer-tomulti-peer 

(P2MP) connectivity. Zlinx Xtreme gives you the flexibility to 

build a wireless network that functions under the worst conditions while 

saving you a bundle of money over typical wired applications. 

Easy to Configure Wireless Solutions include: 

• Serial-to-Serial - connect two or more industrial serial devices together
