TC3400/3420
Serial-to-Ethernet Converter (10BaseT)

The TC3400 Serial-to-Ethernet Converter series converts RS-232, RS-422 or RS485 asynchronous data to packets for point-to-point transmission between local and remote TC3400s over an Ethernet Network.

The Model TC3400 is for point-to-point network applications, the Model TC3420 is for point-to-multipoint (poll/response). Both models are transparent to data or communications protocols and the TC3420 can be configured in bus, ring or redundant ring topologies.

Compatible with all popular Ethernet Switches, the TC3400 series supports data rates up to 57.6 Kbps. A Web-based user interface (i.e. browser) is provided to view or change network settings. It supports full handshaking for RS-232 interfaces (DCD, RTS, CTS, DTR and DSR). It is often used for poll/response networks in Utility, SCADA, Traffic Control and Process Control LAN networks.

Features
  • Converts RS-232, 422, or 485 to 10Base-T Ethernet (IEEE 802.3)
  • Point to Point (TC3400)
  • Point to Multi-Point (TC3420)
  • Data Rates up to 57.6 Kbps
  • Changeable Network Settings
  • Supports Full RS-232 Handshaking
  • Nine Diagnostic LEDs
  • Local/Remote Loopback & Test Signal Generator (TC3420)
  • High Temp (-20°C to 70°C) Optional

Applications

The TC3400 Series is ideal for poll response networks often used in Utility, SCADA, Traffic Control and Process Control LANs to link RS-232 or RS-485 RTUs and PLCs to a Host CPU. It is also ideal for connecting surveillance cameras with RS-232 interfaces over Ethernet.
