The TCF-142 media converter is equipped with a multiple interface
circuit that can handle RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial interfaces and
multi-mode or single-mode fiber. TCF-142 converters are used to extend
serial transmission up to 5 km (TCF-142-M with multi-mode fiber) or up
to 40 km (TCF-142-S with single-mode fiber). The TCF-142 can be
configured to convert either RS-232 signals, or RS-422/485 signals, but
not both at the same time.
Automatic Baudrate Detection
The TCF-142 can automatically detect the serial baudrate. This is an
extremely convenient feature. Even if a device’s baudrate is changed,
the signal will still be transmitted through the media converter without
any data loss.
Ring OperationThe TCF-142 converters can be used to connect serial devices to a
fiber ring. To form the ring, connect the Tx port of one TCF-142 to the
Rx port of a neighboring converter. Once the ring is set up, simply use
the DIP switches to configure the TCF-142 converters for “ring mode.”
When one node transmits a signal, the signal travels around the ring
until it returns back to the transmitting unit, which then blocks the
signal. With the TCF-142, you can set up fiber rings that have a total
circumference of up to 100 km.
Automatic Data Direction Control (ADDC®)
ADDC® is a patented hardware data flow solution developed by Moxa to
handle RS-485 data direction control. ADDC® senses and controls RS-485
data direction automatically, making it unnecessary to use the hand
shaking signal.
