Industrologic announces the release of their RS51-SPR-BETA, a protocol converter for the Adaptive Micro Systems BetaBrite® Electronic Message Display.
The RS51-SPR-BETA BetaBrite® protocol converter was designed to make using the Adaptive Micro Systems, BetaBrite electronic message display extremely easy to use as a simple RS-232 serial LED display. Without any special characters or commands required, it can convert simple ASCII messages sent to it into the special message protocol required by the BetaBrite display when using its serial port.
Two DB9 connectors are available on the RS51-SPR board to easily connect it to the serial port of an IBM PC compatible computer and to the serial cable provided with the BetaBrite display. No other cables or adapters are required.
In addition to its protocol conversion capabilities, the RS51-SPR-BETA includes an on-board relay with 10 amp Form "C" contacts and screw terminal block connections. This provides the RS51-SPR-BETA with either a general purpose serial control relay, or a method to give the BetaBrite an audible signal, by controlling a sound producing device.
The RS51-SPR-BETA is shipped with all the items needed to quickly and immediately connect it to a PC compatible computer and begin displaying messages: A wall-block power supply, an RS-232 cable, and an easy to use Reference Manual.
Complete information about the RS51-SPR-BETA, including the complete technical reference manual, is on their web site at www.industrologic.com.
