Westermo MD-21 AC Industrial Current Loop to Serial Converter | Easy World Automation

Description

The MD-21 is a 20 mA current loop (TTY) converter allowing RS-232 systems to be connected to a 20 mA current loop interface over a distance of up to 6 km (3.7 mi). The serial interface is a standard RS-232 interface with five control signals. Since the communication is totally transparent there is no need for different settings except for if the current loop shall be active or passive.

The MD-21 is designed for use in heavy-duty industrial applications. The different power options, galvanic isolation, and transient protection guarantee communication in the worst environments. The MD-21 has been tested to meet many EMC, isolation, vibration, and shock standards, all to the highest levels suitable for heavy industrial environments.

The design of the current loop converter makes the MD-21 suitable for a variety of applications with various speeds and data bit options. The converter can be used as a standard RS-232 to 20 mA current loop converter or connected in a ring, creating a multi-drop network. Being able to act as the current source on both transmit and receive circuits, if required, ensures that the MD-21 is suitable for any TTY application.
