Description MD-54
The MD-54 is a device that solves serial data incompatibility problems between two
devices. For example it can be used as a ’CTS-generator’ or a ’XON/XOFF to RTS/CTSconverter’. It can also be used as a parameter and/or speed-converter and data buffer.
The unit is set up using a terminal or PC and settings are stored in non volatile memory.
The unit consists of two RS-232/V.24 interfaces and two 16 kb data buffers, one in
each direction. There is also a RS-422/485 interface connected in parallel to one of the
RS-232/V.24 interfaces. Both RS-232/V.24 interfaces are DCE connections.
The front cover has 11 LED’s for status indication.
As with other Westermo products the MD-54 provides a high level of galvanic isolation both on power and inputs. Operating modes are set-up via DIP-switches located
under the lid on the top of the unit. The MD-54 is available in both AC (230V) and DC
(12–36V) supply voltage. The unit is designed for mounting on 35 mm DIN-rail.
