Introduction
RS485-RS232 Converter, Major industrial computer systems provide standard RS-232 serial ports. Though widely accepted, RS-232 has limited transmission speed, range and networking capabilities. RS485-RS232 Converter, RS-422 and RS-485 standards overcome these limitations by using differential voltage lines for data and control signals, that visibly converts RS-232 signals into isolated RS-422 or RS-485 signal with no need to change any hardware or software. The I-7520/I-7520A allows you to build an industrial grade, long-distance communication system using standard PC hardware.
The design of the isolation between I-7520/I-7520AR is different. To supply power from the PLC/PC, the I-7520R/AR should be used else isolation will be broken.
Features
- Transmission speed of up to 115200 bps
- Auto Switching Baud Rate, 300 ~ 115200 bps
- Power Input of +10 ~ 30 VDC
- DIN – Rail
- 3000 VDC isolation protection on the RS-485 side
- ESD Protection for the RS-232/422/485 Data line
- Supports Operating Temperatures from -25 oC ~ + 75 oC
