RS232 to RS485 Converter

The RS232 to RS485 converter is used to convert between full duplex RS232 and half duplex - multi-drop RS485 networks. The six diagnostic LED's support rapid network setup and troubleshooting. All configuration options are internal and factory set. High speed isolation circuitry allows operation from 0 to 250 Kbaud. Line direction is controlled by RTS. This unit also features differential or "power" termination to eliminate the indeterminate condition that would arise in an undriven RS485 network and prevent noise from being received as unwanted data.

Technical Specifications: RS232 to RS485 Converter with isolation and differential "power" termination
Order Code: P/N: DAS-PMB-RS232/485-01A - Male DB25
Specify the termination setting (ON or OFF) and the DTE/DCE settings (setting 1 or 2), when ordering

DTE/DCE Settings

RS232 DB25 Connector pin outs

Setting 1

RS232 data is received on pin 2
RS232 data is transmitted on pin 3
Network direction control is provided by pin 4

Setting 2

RS232 data is received on pin 3
RS232 data is transmitted on pin 2
Network direction control is provided by pin 5

Power Source: External power supply (9VDC, 200mA) or interface powered from the RS485 network
Primary Power: The primary power LED should be illuminated solid green. 9VDC can be supplied from the RS485 connector PIN 4+, PIN 5- or through the RS232 connector PIN 9+, PIN 10-.
Isolated Power: The isolated power LED should be illuminated solid green. This lamp indicates the isolated power supply that powers the RS485 portion of the converter circuit is operational.
Operating conditions: -20 to +85°C (-4 to 185°F)
0 to 93% relative humidity
Network Transmit: This LED will be illuminated when the RS485 driver is active and driving the network.
Direction, Receive Data, Transmit Data: Under conventional quiescent conditions, all three of these lamps will be illuminated green.
Operating voltage:
(power supply requirement)
External power supply: 9-12VDC, 200mA (AC adapter supplied as an option)
or interface powered from the network
Electrical connections: RS232 side: DB25 male or DB25 female (specify upon ordering)
RS485 side: 2 Data, 2 power and 1 shield screw terminations (22-12 AWG wire)
External power supply: Connect 9VDC to pins 4+, 5- on the RS485 side screw terminal or the network interface power to pins 9+, 10- on the RS232 DB-25 connector
Dimensions: 3.91 x 1.03 x 2.75 inches
