IE6012 | Extension Box, 2-channel communication interface, serial, TTY, 20 mA, M12
The IE6012 serial interface module allows the connection of devices with a 20 mA current interface, which operates passively. The module transmits the data in a fully transparent manner to the higher-level automation device. The data is transferred via the fieldbus using a simple handshake protocol. This does not have any effect on the protocol of the serial interface. The active serial communication channel functions independently of the higher-level bus system in full duplex mode at up to 115,200 baud, while a 128 byte receive buffer and a 16 byte send buffer are available. The current interface guarantees high immunity to interference through electrically isolated signals with injected current.
