Auto-485
RS232-to-RS485 Converter

Download User's Guide
Note: The adapter requires a 9 to 24V DC power which
means it can be powered by the same 12 to 24V power supply of the PLC.
Operates from 1200 Baud to 300 BPS |
This
RS232-to-RS485 converter supports both /RTS-controlled turnaround and
automatic turnaround of the transceiver buffer. The following are some
possible applications:
-
For
programming an M-series PLC via its RS485 port so that its RS232 port
can be freed for connecting to other devices such as HMI, SCADA,
barcode scanner, smart card readers, etc.
-
For
linking as many as 240 PLC's via RS485 multi-drop bus to a single PC
for local programming or remote programming / monitoring via the
Internet.
-
To
transparently convert the PLC's RS485 port into an additional RS232
port for interfacing to third party RS232 devices. This is made
possible by auto-turnaround features built into the adapter.
