Applications

The TC3400 series is ideal for connecting surveillance cameras with RS-232 interfaces over Ethernet. It is also frequently used for poll/response networks in Utility, SCADA, Traffic Control and Process Control LANs to link RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 RTUs and PLCs to a Host CPU.

Description

The TC3400 Series converts RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 (4-wire) 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 networks 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. Models support full handshaking RS-232 interfaces (DCD, RTS, CTS, DTR and DSR)*. Nine LEDs are provided on the front panel for all five control signals and Sync, Activity, Power and Link.

The T3420 supports local and remote loopback and provides a test signal generator for link verification. The TC3400 supports local loopback. Both have alarm relays.

Power is 12VDC, optional 24VDC, -48VDC or 115/230VAC with an external power cube. Electrical connectors are DB9F, 10Base-T connectors are RJ-45F. The TC3400R is the Rackmount Card that fits in a 19" rackmount card cages TCRM192 or TCRM196. The TC3400S is the Standalone/Wallmount unit. A temperature hardened version (-20° to 70°C), Model TC3400T, is also available.

*Note: Handshaking currently not supported for Telnet operations.
