TC3847-3
4-Channel Turbo Serial-Over-IP
Features
Featuring support for teleprotection relays, the TC3847-3 Turbo Serial Card transports four channels of RS-232 or RS-422/ RS-485 serial data over existing Layer 2/Layer 3 networks at extremely low latency.
- 1, 2 or 4 Channels of RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 Serial
- Data Rates up to 115200 bps
- Extremely Low Latency
- Protocol Transparent: Mirrored Bits*, DNP-3, Modbus, etc.
- RS-232 Supports Handshaking or Synchronous Mode
- Built-In Temperature & Power Sensors
- Extreme Temp (-40°C to +80ºC) Optional
- Meets or Exceeds IEC 61850-3, IEC 60834, IEEE 1613 & NEMA TS-2 Standards
- Member of JumboSwitch® Product Family
The JumboSwitch® series is a TDM over IP/Ethernet based solution designed to emulate time-division multiplexing over packet switched networks (PSN). TDM over IP/Ethernet is a TDM pseudowire (PW) technology making it possible to provision E1, T1, E3, T3, STS-1 and serial data services across PSN's such as IP, MPLS or layer 2 Ethernet Networks.
Applications
Typical applications include extending serial data across Ethernet/IP, CE, or MPLS networks.
Specially designed to meet stringent real time requirements for protective relay communications in the power utility industry, this Turbo Serial interface card can perform at less than 3msec. latency, end-to-end, through an Ethernet network. This extremely low latency is irrespective of the protocol used, mirror bit or otherwise, and is unaffected by the number of nodes in between.
In short, it's the fastest serial-over-IP solution for teleprotection currently available in the industrial marketplace today.
For example, the TC3847-3 is often used to extend RS-232/ RS-422/RS-485 signals from one protection relay to another over an Ethernet/IP network.
