FX3G-485-BD external appearance

Specifications

  • Approved standards: CE (EMC), ABS, DNV, GL, LR, BV, RINA, NK, KR
  • Interface for simple PC-PC link connection (n:n)
  • Interface for parallel link connection (1:1)
  • Interface for dedicated protocol communication using a computer link where the master is a computer (PC, etc.)
  • Interface for 1:1 nonprocedural communication with a measuring instrument or other equipment having an RS-485 interface.

When Mounting DirectlyFrequency: 10 To 57 HzSingle Amplitude: 0.075 mm 10 times in each direction of X, Y and Z (total 80 minutes each)
Frequency: 57 To 150 HzAcceleration: 9.8 m/s2 10 times in each direction of X, Y and Z (total 80 minutes each)
Impact Resistance147 m/s2, for a half-sine pulse three times in each direction of X, Y and Z for a duration of 11 ms
Noise ResistanceAchieved through a noise simulator with a noise voltage of 1,000 Vp-p, noise width of 1 μs, rise time of 1 ns, and frequency of 30 to 100 Hz
Withstand VoltageThe communication line is not insulated from the sequencer main body.
(Do not perform voltage resistance test)
Insulation ResistanceThe communication line is not insulated from the sequencer main body.
(Do not perform insulation resistance test)
Operating AtmosphereThere shall be no corrosion gas or flammable gas and not much conductive dust.
Altitude Of Use2,000 m or lower
Cannot be used in environments pressurized higher than the atmospheric pressure. Doing so may cause failures.
