Power Supplies
PBSA, PBSB, PBSC: The PBSx se ries of devices are 5 VDC power supplies that mount directly to dig i

brain board to be mounted on top of the supply, there by saving panel space. The PBSA is for 120
VAC op er a tion, the PBSB is for 240 VAC, and the PBSC is for 12/24 VDC op er a tion.
Adapter Cards
AC7A, AC7B : This serial adapter card converts any full duplex RS-232 port to an RS-422/485 port,
allowingany computer with a serial RS-232 port to communicate to an Optomux network. The AC7A
is for 120 VAC operation and the AC7B is for 240 VAC operation.
AC8 : This serial adapter card converts a half duplex RS-232 serial port to a full duplex RS-422/485
port. The adapter is used for connecting half duplex radio modems to the Optomux network.
AC30 : This adapter card is an RS-422/485 repeater, used to extend the 5,000 foot limit of an
Optomux serial multidrop network.
AC31 : This adapter is an in tel li gent network interface for the Optomux network. It al lows serial
devices (RS-232 or RS-422/485) that are not addressable to re side on the serial Optomux network as
slaves to a host computer. Devices may in clude printers, terminals, barcode read ers, counters,
motion controllers, etc.
PCI-AC48 : The PCI-AC48 is an isolated, high-speed adapter card designed to link RS-485 serial
devices with computers using the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. This adapter card is
ideal for customers who have been using Opto 22’s AC37 adapter card, but must upgrade to a
newer computer that uses the PCI bus instead of the ISA bus.
