Get Your ASCII Devices Connected Directly to the Data Table of Your PLC over Profinet IO
The 460PSA moves data between an ASCII RS232, RS422 or RS485 device and your Profinet IO Controller. With the 460PSA you now have a solution to get ASCII Barcode Readers, ASCII Weigh Scales, ASCII Printers and other ASCII devices connected to your Profinet IO Controller.

How Does the Data Move In and Out of the Profinet IO Controller?
Incoming ASCII data is mapped to a series of ten 128-byte input slots on the Profinet IO network. Outgoing ASCII data is mapped from a series of ten 128-byte output slots on the Profinet IO network. The first module is used in each direction for handshaking and the first 128 bytes of data. Up to 1024 ASCII characters can be transferred in both directions through the gateway.

If your device uses delimiters, the 460PSA can be configured to automatically remove the delimiters on incoming messages and add delimiters back in on outgoing messages. No need to deal with the delimiters in your controller.

It’s designed to be a simple ASCII interface and it really is that simple.

Why Use Real Time Automation as a Gateway Supplier?
The 460PSA provides an option to access those ASCII devices that always seem to creep into your architecture no matter how hard you try to keep them out. With the 460PSA you can easily connect to those devices with your Profinet IO Controller.

When you call, a live person answers the phone. When you talk with sales, you will get honest answers and recommendations, even if that means recommending someone else’s solution. When you get support, it is from an engineer who had a hand in the product’s development, and support doesn’t require a ticket or 24 hour wait. We are unashamed of the fact that we are a smaller company because that means you mean a lot more to us. Try the RTA difference today!

What our Customers are Saying

“I challenged a customer to get it working by the time I got back from his break room with a Coke and he indeed had it working when I got back. He then said, "It’s worth twice the price!"”

Eric P. / Kendall Electric

“Everything seems to be working as we imagined. Thanks for the great response time. I did not see any way to save the configuration other than screen shots, but the configuration did not get lost in the update. Thanks again, and you were a pleasure to work with.”
