B&B Electronics ADAM-4521 RS-422/485 RS-232 Blue serial converter/repeater/isolator

Converter, RS-422/485 to RS-232, Terminal Block, 1kV Isolation, Blue ADAM-4500 SERIES

The serial media converters provide conversion between serial networks and other media. They can transparently convert RS-232 signals to RS-422/485 signals, as well as convert RS-422/485 to RS-232 signals without changing the PC's hardware or software. The converter lets you easily build an industrial grade, long distance communication system with standard PC hardware.

ADAM-4521

The ADAM-4521 is an intelligent RS-422/485 to RS-232 converter specifically designed to connect RS-422/485 devices to an RS-232 network. RS-232 is the most common transmission standard. Although widely available on most computer systems, measurement equipment, PLCs, and industrial devices, its transmission speed, communication distance, and especially networking capability are limited due to unbalanced transmission. The ADAM-4521 addressable converter solves this problem and lets you easily build up an RS-485 network with your RS-232 devices by assigning each one an address for easier communication.
