Model TC8916F Broadcast & Receive Device  (8-24 Port: RS232/RS-422) TC8916S Standalone Unit TC8916R (Housed in TCRM195 Rackmount Card Cage, 2-Card Unit Shown) Features  Product or Application Questions (click here) Supports Polled Response SCADA Networks RS-232 or RS-422 Up to 24 Channels; Can be Cascaded Anti-Streaming Capability on Each Channel Hardened Temperature version exceeds NEMA & CALTRANS specs LED Indicators for Each Channel’s Tx & Rx Status Stand Alone or Rackmount Description Designed specifically for SCADA and process control applications with a Star topology, the TC8916 Broadcast & Receive Device broadcasts & receives information from remote devices. Transparent to all data sent in either direction, it is typically used to link SCADA Hosts to remote terminal units (RTUs) or programmable logic devices (PLCs) via fiber optic or metallic cable. The host port on the TC8916 receives a broadcast message from the host controller and broadcasts the message out through up to 23 ports at the same time. The broadcast message (sent by SCADA HOST) has embedded Identification (ID) numbers for each RTU. Only the RTU that matches this ID number will respond. The TC8916 supports data rates up to 120 Kbps and is compatible with both RS-232 and RS-422 interfaces. Interfaces can be mixed or matched in increments of four.   TC8916 Specifications Channel Capacity TC8916 8 (Host +7), 16 (Host +15), or 24 (Host +23)Channels Data Rates TC8916 DC to 120Kbps (async) Electrical Connector RJ11 Female Type RS232 or RS422 System Bit error rate 1 in l09 or better Visual Indicators Tx, RX for each channel, Alarm,  Power Power Power source I2VDC @300ma optional: 115 or 230VAC with external power cube Temperature Operating: TC8916                   TC8916T -100C to 500C -200C to 700C Storage -400C to 900C Humidity 95% non-condensing Physical Stand Alone Unit Height: 8 Channel  (6.5cm) 1.30"            16 Channel  (6.5cm) 2.60"            24 Channel  (6.5cm) 3.90"   Width (18.0cm) 7.20"   Depth (25.0cm) 9.75"   Weight (1.36kg) 3.0 lb Typical Application (Application Questions) The TC8916 is often used in SCADA applications with a Star topology to link a SCADA Host to RTUs. The TC8916’s RS-232/RS- 422 user ports can be extended with the use of a fiber modem or multiplexer. When the Host Polling Device sends information to the TC8916 via the RS-232/RS-422 Host Port, it will broadcast to each of the RS-232/RS-422 user ports. The addressed remote device(s) will then respond back to the Host Device.
