Product Description
RSFC24W: RS232 to RS485 2 Wire Half Duplex Non-isolated Bidirectional Converter w/ 12V Power Supply & DB9F Adapter w/ 7ft. Cable in Boxed Enclosure.
-
This auto transmit unit features Bi-directional serial conversion from RS232 to RS485 in 2 wire half-duplex communications mode.
-
The RS485 driver, with built in electro-static protection, allows 32 standard loads at 4000 ft. and data rates up to 115.2 Kbps.
-
Transparent to all asynchronous data, with any combination of data, parity, and stop bits, at data rates up to 115.2Kbps.
-
Fast auto turn-around, from transmit to receive mode, requires no software delays and eliminates timing problems and data collisions. A special jumper(J9) can further shorten the turn-around time to accommodate fast responding target devices.
-
A polarity protected linear power regulator accepts supply voltages from 8 to 15 VDC, at 0.5 Watt(typical) to 1 watt(max).
-
Jumpers allow the RS485 termination and bias resistors, and the RS232 DTE/DCE mode to be user configured. Jumper J10 will place the unit in Loop-Back mode for self test.
-
The user connections are an RJ11/12 telephone style connector(RS232), a 3 pin Wago style spring loaded terminal strip(RS485), and a 2.1 mm barrel connector(power).
-
Broad environmental range. Temperature: -40C to +85C(-40F to +185F). Humidity: 10 to 90% RH(non-condensing)
-
Four(4) easy mount through hole standoffs, which accept #6 hardware, are provided on the circuit board.
-
Accessories available are a 12VDC Switching Power Supply(Wall Wart), an enclosure, and a 7ft DB9F to RJ11/12 RS232 cable.
-
This unit is also available with an RJ11/12 telephone style connector for the RS485 port.(RSCF24R)
-
The functionally identical ASC24W/R series of converters, feature edge mounted power and data activity LEDs
-
We strongly recommend that a first time user of this product purchase the optional DB9F-7 to RJ11/12 RS232 cable.
-
R E Smith Inc makes a wide variety of isolated converters that address the electrical noise problems that contribute to unreliable communications, and product failure.
