Omron ZX2-SF11 RS-232C Communications Interface Unit

BrandOmron
Model IdentifierZX2-SF11
Official Part NumberZX2-SF11

Technical Overview

The Omron ZX2-SF11 is a communications interface unit for compatible ZX2 laser displacement sensor amplifiers. It provides a full-duplex RS-232C connection through a 9-pin D-sub connector and can link up to five amplifier units. The interface supports ASCII data and selectable 38,400 or 9,600 bps communication; power is supplied through the sensor amplifier.

RS-232C interface for linking compatible ZX2 laser displacement amplifiers to a host system.
