Description: The VIP-411 / 412 “SmartAe”™ Encoders convert switch or contact closures to RS-232 protocol ASCII codes. Switch inputs can be individual closures to a common line or matrix closures. Switch closures are debounced, and the ASCII code for the closed switch is sent once on the RS-232 output. No code is sent when the contact is opened. Multiple switches can be closed simultaneously. The ASCII character, and its hexadecimal representation, generated for a particular switch closure is shown in Table 10 for the VIP-411 and in Table 11 for the VIP-412. J1 is the switch input connector to the Encoder. If the standard maps do not meet your requirements, we can also customise our standard SmartAe series to your needs or specifications, including multiple key strokes from a single contact closure. Contact us with your special requirements.
