INFO

The RS232 to RS485 converter is used to bridge communication between two different serial communication protocols. Both RS232 and RS485 are used for serial data transmission, but they have distinct characteristics and are applied in different environments.

RS485 supports long-distance communication (up to 1200 meters), while RS232 is limited to about 15 meters. The converter enables RS232 devices to be used in systems where long-distance communication is required.

RS485 uses differential signaling, making it less susceptible to electromagnetic interference compared to RS232. This is especially important in industrial environments where electrical noise is common.

RS485 also supports multi-point communication, meaning that multiple devices (up to 32 or more) can share a single communication line. In contrast, RS232 is designed for point-to-point communication. This converter enables RS232 devices to participate in RS485 multi-device networks.

RS485 is widely used in industrial settings for communication between controllers, sensors, and meters. This converter makes it possible to integrate RS232-based devices into such RS485-based systems.

In addition to a DB9 connector, the RS232 to RS485 converter includes a terminal block for direct wired connection to a controller.
