SI-65FA: Standard model
SI-65FA-L: Wall-hanging model

SI-65FA / SI-65FA-L are an interface converter to connect equipments such as equipment for factory automation or analyzers which have RS-422/485 communication ports to LAN. The built-in Lantronix Xport® on the LAN interface converts RS-422/RS-485 data into LAN protocol (TCP/IP and transfers the LAN data by controlling RS-485 driver automatically. It offers high reliability by insulating between LAN and RS-422/485 interfaces by the photo-coupler. It works without AC adapter by built-in wide AC input. It has the robust metal body and supports 35mm DIN rail, and can be used under the environment of –20 degrees Celsius. Therefore, you can use it for factory automation without worry.

Number Name Full duplex*1 Half duplex*1
I/O direction*2 Description I/O direction*2 Description
1 SD+ Out Send data+ - Cannot used*3
2 SD- Out Send data- - Cannot used*3
3 SD/RD+ In Receive data+ I/O Send/Receive data+
4 SD/RD- In Receive data- I/O Send/Receive data-
5 GND - Signal ground - Signal ground
6 +5V IN - External power input   External power input
*1: Can be switched by the dip switch B.
*2: "Out" means when signal outputted from the converter and "In" means when signal is inputted. Both direction is "I/O".
*3: Do not connect anything when in half duplex mode.

 

LED
LED Description
SD Lights when data comes from LAN to RS-422/485.
SD/RD Lights when data goes RS-422/485 to LAN.
DRIVER ACTIVE Lights when the RS-485 driver of the converter is active.
PWR Lights in green when powered.

■A Useful Tool for Multiple Operation

SILANIOinit is a configuration tool for LINEEYE products embedded WiPort-NR. It is useful and saves time to rewrite the WiPort-NR configuration file (Setup Record) .

[ Functions ]
  • Searches the device on the Network. Displays the MAC address.
  • Reads and saves the configuration (set-up record) of converter.
  • Writes to the set-up record of selected converter.
  • Sets the IP address of selected converter.
