  • Fast auto TX-enable RS485 (2-wire, half-duplex) or RS485/RS422 (4-wire, full-duplex, fixed enable or auto TX-enable) for multi-drop, and/or point-to-point networks

  • Fast auto TX-enable RS232 ↔ RS485 interface converter for 2-wire, half-duplex communications, or fixed/auto TX-enable RS232 ↔ RS485/RS422 interface converter for 4-wire, full-duplex, point-to-point or multi-drop communications, at distances up to 4000 ft. and data rates up to 115.2Kbps

General Description:

The RSCOM2A is a fast Async bi-directional RS232 ↔ RS485 interface converter for 2-wire, half-duplex applications, with an automatic TX enable circuit, that will operate at data rates up to 115.2Kbps. The unit can also be used in 4-wire RS485/RS422 application (point-to-point or multi-drop, full-duplex). The unit has jumpers for bias, termination, RS232 DTE/DCE selection, and operating mode settings. The unit has edge mounted LED indicators, a removable screw terminal connector, and uses SN75LBC184P limited slew rate transceivers (1/2 unit load) with built-in transient protection.

The RSCOM2A is designed for office and/or industrial applications (non-isolated), and provides superior characteristics/features normally found only on more expensive units.

Need something special? Please contact us. We have additional isolated and non-isolated converters, repeaters, and repeater hubs. Units are generally stock to 2-3 business days for shipment. We design and manufacturer our entire product line, and offer technical support for our units, and can offer system recommendations for your application. Please give us a call: 513-874-4796
