Channels and Network
The ISL40 operates over one of two preset selectable channels (frequencies) using a single line such
as the vehicle’s battery power line. A SIG40 master and up to 15 ISL40 slave devices can be connected
to each of the channels over the same line. Each of them can receive a message that controls either 4
output pins and returns a message consisting of its 8 input pins status or control 8 output pins and
return status of its 4 input pins according to the device setup. By selecting other channels, more than
one network may be used over same line for different applications.
Channel frequencies: 3.58MHz to 6.5MHz.
Data transfer rate:
Cable length:
up to 57.6Kbps.
Depends on external loads connected to the DC line.
