RS485-RS232 Converter

RS485-RS232 Converter

Introduction

Major industrial computer systems provide standard RS-232 serial ports. Though widely accepted, RS-232 has limited transmission speed, range and networking capabilities. The 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
