Sealevel Systems announces two additions to the popular SeaLINK® USB to serial product line, the SeaLINK.SC and SeaLINK+2.SC.
Offering one or two serial ports that are software configurable for
RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485, the adapters eliminate the need to open the
enclosure to change jumper settings or dipswitches. The devices
maintain their electrical interface settings locally, allowing the host
computer to be repaired or upgraded without reconfiguring the serial
ports. Additionally, the devices can be configured at one computer and
deployed to other computers.
The serial ports on each SeaLINK
adapter appear as standard COM ports to the host computer enabling
compatibility with legacy software. All Sealevel SeaLINK USB serial
adapters use a state-machine architecture that greatly reduces the host
computer's overhead when communicating over multiple serial ports
simultaneously while supporting data rates to 921.6K bps. Status LEDs
on the front of the enclosure indicate serial data activity, electrical
interface, and power.
The SeaLINK.SC and SeaLINK+2.SC are
housed in rugged, plastic enclosures that are ideal for mounting on
walls, under counters, or inside panels. DIN rail mounting clips are
available as an option. The adapters are USB bus powered, so no
external power supply is needed. Both models integrate SeaLATCH®
locking USB ports, which are fully compatible with standard USB cables.
When used with the included USB cable with a locking type B connector,
the metal thumbscrew provides a secure connection to the device and
prevents accidental cable disconnection.
All SeaLINK products
ship with the Sealevel Systems SeaCOM™ suite of Windows drivers and
diagnostic utilities. WinSSD, a full-featured application providing
powerful testing and diagnostic capabilities, is also included. Use
WinSSD for BERT (Bit Error Rate Testing), throughput monitoring,
loopback tests, and transmit test pattern messages.
Standard
operating temperature range for SeaLINK products is 0-70°C, and
extended temperature range (-40°C - +85°C) models are available. Both
are available immediately from stock priced at $259 for the SeaLINK.SC (Item# 2123) and $309 for the SeaLINK+2.SC (Item# 2223). Like all Sealevel I/O products, the adapters are backed by a lifetime warranty.
