CPT-DFC4 - Isolated RS422/485

CPT-DFC4

The CPT-DFC4 is a Communications Peripheral card within the DF Series Range. The card contains an isolated RS422/RS485 interface, isolated CAN interface and an isolated Serial Peripheral interface (isoSPI format).

The card's isolated outputs are all powered via the DF Series Communications Interface. The CPT-DFC4 has switches on-card for selection of the active SCI and CAN ports. RS422 or RS485 can be selected via an on-card switch. The SPI interface can be selected for Master or Slave mode and the SPI MODE (0-3) is also configurable via on-card switches. These selections must match the software programmed by the user within the DF Series Control Card that forms part of the stack.

The CPT-DFC4 card mounts within the DF Series stack and uses the 26 way Communications Interface for communication with the DF Series Control Card.

DF Series Peripheral Cards are available with alternative communications interfaces. The currently available cards in this range are the CPT-DFC2, CPT-DFC4 and CPT-DFJ.
