Features
• Combines an ANSI/CEA 709.3-1999 compliant free topology twisted pair transceiver with a Neuron 3120 or Neuron 3150 network processor core
• Supports polarity insensitive free topology star, daisy chain, bus, loop, or mixed topology wiring
• 78 kilobits per second bit rate for distances up to 500 meters in free topology or 2700 meters in bus topology with double terminations
• High performance Neuron network processor core enables concurrent processing of application code and network packets (40MHz maximum for FT 3120 smart transceiver, 20MHz maximum for FT 3150 smart transceiver)
• 4Kbytes of embedded EEPROM for application code and configuration data on the FT 3120 smart transceiver and 0.5Kbytes of embedded EEPROM for configuration data on the FT 3150 smart transceiver
• Interface for external memory for devices with larger memory requirements (FT 3150 smart transceiver only)
• 2Kbytes of embedded RAM for buffering network data and network variables
• 11 I/O pins with 34 programmable standard I/O modes minimizing external interface circuitry
• Unique 48-bit Neuron ID in every device for network installation and management
• Compact external transformer with patent pending architecture providing exceptional immunity from magnetic interference and high frequency common mode noise
• Compatible with TP/FT-10 channels using FTT-10 and/or FTT-10A Free Topology Transceivers and, with suitable DC blocking capacitors, LPT-10 Link Power Transceivers
• Communications parameters preprogrammed for the TP/FT-10 channel at 10MHz
• 5V operation with low power consumption
