B&B Electronics 485DRCI-PH

RS-232 to RS-422/485 Converter, DB9, 115.2 Kbps, 2 KV, 0.5W The ILinx 485DRCI-PH is our premium Heavy Industrial RS-232 to RS-422/485 Isolated Converter. Designed for rugged industrial environments, it has been put through some of the most exacting compliance tests in the industry. Meeting the requirements of IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613, it is suitable for installation in electrical substations. These specifications are more stringent than the NEMA TS1/TS2 requirements for transportation applications. Powerful isolation on both data ports protects your equipment and data from damaging ground loops and surges. Additional isolation on the power supply circuits adds a third degree of protection.

Packaged in a rugged IP30 metal case, it converts unbalanced, full or half-duplex RS-232 signals to balanced RS-422/485 signals. Featuring Automatic Send Data Control circuitry, it does not require special software control of handshake signals in RS-485 mode. Our bit-wise enabled circuitry automatically detects the data rate without setting a DIP switch.

Remember, when it comes to reliable communications in harsh industrial environments, B&B Electronics’ ILinx brand converters and isolators are your number one choice.
