MPL4000 Serial Interface Boards

MPL AG offers serial interface for communication like RS232, RS422, RS485 and current loop. The boards are easy to integrate and to use. The RS232 allows basic, short distance connections to terminals, printers, modems etc. The RS422, RS485 and the 20 mA current loop allow connections over longer distances with high noise immunity. For critical applications, where ground loops should be avoided, versions with opto isolation are available.
