Key Features:

• Dual Communication Interfaces: Supports both RS-232 and RS-485/422 communication, offering versatility in different system setups.
• RS-232 Preference: This FTA is the preferred choice for RS-232 communication, offering compatibility with a wide range of devices.
• Redundant Configuration: The communication FTA can be powered by one or a redundant pair of Control Processors (no separate power supply needed).
• Grounding: The module requires connection to earth ground for proper shielding and safety.
• Flexible Baud Rate Options: The module supports baud rates from 0-250 kBaud for RS-232 and 0-2 MBaud for RS-485/422 (transparent, FM0, FM1, or Manchester coded).
• Mounting: It has a universal snap-in provision for DIN EN rails (TS32 / TS35 × 7.5).
