Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The MOXA RS-232 Surge Protection converter, A60, is
designed to protect the RS-232 communication line from TOV
(Transient Over Voltages) which comes from lightning,
electrostatic discharge and other forms. TOV is always the
major factor which damages components and makes ports
unreliable. To improve this problem, we add Transient Voltage
Suppressor to our I/O ports to clamp surge voltage to protect
ports from TOV.
Due to the impulse signal generated by inductive devices in
factory, the surge protection is best suited for the factory
automation applications.
