PathWay® Model 4720 Remotely Controllable DB25 A/B Switch Application with Monitor A & B for Control, Custom Protocol:
The drawing illustrates a single channel of DB25 switching. A COMMON device connected to the DB25 COMMON port has access to other devices connected to the DB25 Port A (PRIMARY LINE), and the DB25 Port B (BACKUP LINE). The switch monitors data on ports A (PRIMARY LINE) and B (BACKUP LINE) and responds to custom protocol ASCII character.
FEATURES:
- Model 4720 allows quick connection to any one of two DB25 interface devices from one COMMON device.
- Switches pins 1 - 8 and 20 of the DB25 interface via break-before-make electromechanical relays.
- Local control via front panel pushbutton.
- Data on both ports A and B looked to for ASCII character command sequences — "Switch to A" commands received and responded to on port A; " Switch to B" commands received and responded to on port B.
- ASCII commands are identified, stripped from data stream, and not allowed to pass through the A/B Switch unit.
- Each received command is responded to for positive receipt of command acknowledgement.
- Custom command protocol designed to enable the A/B Switch unit to respond per command acknowledge receipt of command and provide status information per command request.
- RS232 multi-drop configuration for monitored data on ports A and B.
- Each Switch has a programmable dip switch to create its unique address/identity.
- Commands include CHANGE switch position, QUERY switch position status, and LOCKOUT/UNLOCK front panel control.
- Front panel LED's display switch position and power status.
- Retains last switch position in the event of power loss and continues to pass data.
- Attractive anodized black box packaging provides EMI/RFI shielding.
- Custom length DB25 cables available for your switch installation.
The PathWay® Model 4720 Remotely Controllable DB25 A/B Switch monitors the data on its A and B ports and responds to custom protocol ASCII character "Switch to A" or "Switch to B" command sequences. Local control is also available via front panel pushbutton.
