51303932-476 Serial Device Interface Modbus FTA provides both EIA-232 (RS-232) and EIA-422/485 (RS-422/485) interfaces for asynchronous serial communications devices. The firmware resides in the plug-in module on the FTA. The firmware is preprogrammed at the factory to accommodate the associated IOP and the selected communications interface-type, EIA-232 or EIA-422/485. The FTA 51303932-476 is CE Compliant and Conformal Coated. Model number MC-TSIM12.

• Redundancy not supported
• Channels - 1
• Terminal type - DB25 or compression
• Size A - 6 inches (152 mm)

Some Serial Interface (SI) Field Termination Assemblies are CE Compliant, while others are not CE Compliant. CE Compliant Serial Interface assemblies are identified by a part number tab number that ends in “26,” “28,” “76,” or “78.” They do not have a unique model number.

CE Compliant and non-CE Compliant FTAs have unique model numbers. CE compliance refers to the adherence to the CE marking requirements, which are a certification standard indicating that a product meets the essential health, safety, and environmental protection requirements defined by European Union (EU) legislation. The CE mark is a key indicator that a product can be legally sold in the European Economic Area (EEA).

The interface connection to the device is through the DB-25-type connector, J2, on the FTA. The EIA-232 interface cable should not exceed 15 meters (50 feet) in length. The type of device that interfaces the model MU-TSIM12 Serial Interface FTA must be compatible with Modbus RTU protocol.

There are also conformal coated and non-conformal coated FTAs. Conformal coating is a specially engineered polymeric film-forming product that protects circuit boards, components, and other electronic devices from harmful environmental conditions like moisture, thermal shock, static, vibration, and contamination.

Most standard FTA types are available with either compression-type or screw-type terminal connectors. The number of terminals for both the compression-type and screw-type terminal connector can vary depending on the type of standard FTA.
