Arkel SP16 ARL500 Serial to Parallel Converter Board (ARL-500) for Elevator Systems

The Arkel SP16 ARL500 Serial to Parallel Converter Board is designed to allow control panels, such as ARCODE or ARL500, which typically work with serial installations, to function in buildings with parallel networks. This versatile board supports up to 16 floors in one-way communication and up to 9 floors in two-way communication. If needed, additional SP16 boards can be cascaded to support more floors.

Key features of the SP16 include:
– Input supply voltage of 24Vdc with a maximum power consumption of 1W.
– Outputs include 7-segment and gray code options, supporting a maximum of 400mA and 200mA at 24V, respectively.
– Call button support for up to 16 stops (single pick-up) and 9 stops (double pick-up).
– Predefined relay outputs for states like “out of service,” “busy,” “down,” and “up direction.”
– Easy programming through dip switches.
