RS-232 To RS-485/RS-422 Bi-Directional Converter Plus, With Opto-Isolation - IC109A-R3

Serial RS-485, Serial RS-422, Serial RS-232 Cabling
Supports RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 Networking
Data Transfer Speeds up to 115.2Kbps

Black Box has doubled the speed of its top-selling converter to keep up with today’s PCs. With this RS-232/485/422 bi-directional converter, you can transmit data up to 4000 feet over two- or four-wire lines in full or half-duplex turnaround delay. Use this converter with PCs and other RS-232 equipment that have the 16550 UART for transmission speeds up to 115.2 kbps. The converter offers a line bias feature that prevents it from receiving line noise as send or receive signals. Switch settings let you customize the converter to your specific application. Improved surge suppression keeps your converter safe from induced surges on the RS-485 side. A fast Data Enable Mode (up to 64 kbps) means you won’t lose data when you transmit in Data Enable.

The IC109A-R3 protects one segment of your extended network from problems that arise on the other. Optical-isolation circuits convert electrical signals to light and back again, to keep signal noise and ground loops from crossing between segments of your RS-485 installation. That means the electrical noise from your factory floor won’t affect your office communications, and the difference in ground potential over long distances and between buildings won’t damage your sensitive equipment.
