Features
1. Optical isolation effectively protects RS-232/RS-485 devices from transient
surges, ground loop, and remote lightning
2. Plug-and-Play (Device is hot-pluggable, Data format Auto-sensing & Self-adjusting)
3. Maximum baud rate 38400bps, 1200m(9600bps)
4. Port-powered, no external power or TXD, RTS, DTR required
5. Data direction auto-turnaround, no flow control is required
6. 2500V isolation, no power supply needed
Introduction
The SW485WA is an industrial grade bi-directional port-powered 2500V opto-isolated RS232 to RS485 converter in a 9 pin format. It can convert any standard full duplex RS232C port to any two-wire balanced half duplex RS485 port. In simple terms, it will convert any RS232 signal to a RS485 signal and vice versa. The unit is powered from the RS232 data lines. It also supports data direction auto-turnaround. Therefore, no external power or flow control is required. The data direction auto-turnaround automatically enables the RS485 driver when data is present on the RS232 side making the device plug-and-play, requiring no software drivers. The SW485WA has a DB9 female connector on the RS232 side and either a DB9 male connector or 3 bit terminal block on the RS485 side.
