Main Function
Converts RS232 signal to balanced differential RS485/422 signal for interface conversion, node expansion, and long-distance communication.
Galvanic Isolation
- Built-in monolithic power isolation, provides stable isolated voltage, no additional power supply needed for the isolated terminal
- Built-in monolithic digital isolation, enables signal isolation, high reliability, strong anti-interference, low power consumption
Multi-level Protection, Safe and Stable Operation
Built-in TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor), effectively suppresses surge voltage and transient spike voltage in the circuit, lightning and ESD protection. Built-in resettable fuse and protective diodes, provides stable output current/voltage, overcurrent/overvoltage protection, improves shock resistance.
Transmission Distance up to 1.2 km
The RS232 signal can be converted into a balanced differential RS485/422 signal with a stable baud rate, the transmission distance for RS485/422 is about 1.2 km.
Supports Wall-mount and Rail-mount
