1-3. Overview SI-65, SI-65A, and SI-65FA are communication converters which convert asynchronous communication on RS-422/485 into TCP/IP or UDP/IP communication on Ethernet. These converters have built-in Lantronix XPort at the LAN interface part and the RS- 422/485 interface supports 4-wire full duplex and 2-wire half duplex. Thus It can be applied to various systems which requires liability.
Chapter 2 SI-65(A/FA) Usage 2-1. SI-65(A/FA) Overview and Features SI-65 is a DC powered model. SI-65A is a DC powered model which is adaptive to cold district. SI-65FA has a built-in AC power supply and has a insulator between the interfaces (Ethernet and the RS-422/485).
