7700PTX

Universal Protocol Translator

The 7700PTX Universal Protocol Translator module provides the ability for Evertz VistaLINK® and MVP® software to interface directly to third party UMD devices and routers.

The 7700PTX communicates with the router and UMD protocols either via one of four serial ports or using a built in Ethernet port. All ports both serial and Ethernet are bi-directional allowing the device complete flexibility for communication. The 7700PTX is equipped with 20 general purpose inputs and 8 general purpose outputs that can be used to connect to third party devices for the purpose of alarming or tally. A single LTC port allows the 7700PTX to connect to external time of day references.

Features

  • 4 serial ports RS232/422 selectable
  • 20 opto-isolated General Purpose inputs (GPI)
  • Selectable +5V or +12V supply for driving GPI over longer cable runs
  • 8 relay closure General Purpose Interface outputs (GPO)
  • GPI/GPO easily accessed through pin-headers (2x6 Phoenix Terminal Blocks) on rear plate
  • 1 LTC input for module synchronization of fault alarms to facility time
  • Modular, conveniently fits into 7700FR-C 3RU frame
  • Module status LED and 20 GPI LEDs for simple GPI input diagnostics
  • Frame status trigger
  • VistaLINK® capable for remote monitoring and control via SNMP (using VistaLINK® PRO)
