Asynchronous Half Duplex Communication This RS485 to RS232 converter allows to interface your devices using an RS232 communication link to an RS485 link and vice-versa. A built-in transient voltage suppressor (TVS) enables you to get double 600W lightning surge protection against the lightning strike over RS485 link, and 15KV static protection over RS232 link effectively protect your value devices against high voltage spikes. Simple Operation DCPC (Data Collision Protection Control) function can detect the incoming or outgoing data and automatically switch into the send or receive mode, then you don't have to worry about the data collision problems. It only requires three lines (RX, TX and GND) to get a RS232 to RS485 conversion, making it great for troubleshooting the serial system, fully plug and play. Standards: EIA RS-232C, RS-485 RS-232 signal: TX, RX, GND (DB9 Female connector) RS-485 signal: D+, D-, GND (Removable 8-pin terminal block with screws, 3 channels RS485 splitter) Speed: Auto tuner baud rate, 300 bps~115200 bps Load Capacity:10 nodes for each channel, max 32 nodes for 3 RS485 channels Max distance: 1.2km Data direction auto-turnaround, no flow control is necessary Protection: 15KV ESD over RS232 link; 600W lightning surge protection over RS485 link Power Consumption 180Ma@9V Power Input:9V ~ 30V DC 300Ma Transmission Media - twisted pair (>=24 AWG ) or shielded cable.
