1.OVERVIEW

The ACT-IR320L is a long distance infrared adapter that enables the host system with long distance infrared communication capabilities. The host system may be an industrial controller, a data collector, a medical instrument, or any other device. The interface between ACT-IR320L and the host is the traditional asynchronous serial data port (RS232C). Figure 1.1 shows the system block diagram.
