Beckhoff Automation ie6012

The IE6012 serial interface module allows the connection of devices with a 20?mA current interface, which operates passively. The module transmits the data in a fully transparent manner to the higher-level automation device. The data is transferred via the fieldbus using a simple handshake protocol. This does not have any effect on the protocol of the serial interface. The active serial communication channel functions independently of the higher-level bus system in full duplex mode at up to 115,200?baud, while a 128?byte receive buffer and a 16?byte send buffer are available. The current interface guarantees high immunity to interference through electrically isolated signals with injected current.
