We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "RS232C",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release PLCs receive offshore certifiation from
Idec Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "MicroSmart Pentra range can handle complex tasks, with 32bit data processing and the ability to handle floating point maths to seven decimal places".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Module improves serial communication from
Idec Electronics: "Idec Electronics has dramatically increased the serial communications capability of its Pentra programmable controller range by the recent introduction of an expansion communication module".
In January 2007, we covered the news from Toshiba America Information Systems
concerning its IK-TU51
- take a look at Camera spans industry, entertainment and R and D
which says: "Toshiba's IK-TU51 camera provides real-time imaging with 10bit digital signal processing".
Take a look also at the news release from Yokogawa Europe - Industrial Automation, Enhancements improve network-based control,
as well as Progressive scan camera turns to colour duties from Adept Electronic Solutions,
and Ready-to-run module handles with precision from Festo.
