Serial converters and repeaters for -40 to +70°C

The tried-and-tested interface converters and repeaters in the PSM-ME range are now available with an extended temperature range of -40 to +70°C.

The protocol-transparent converters transform the low-performance RS-232 interface into an RS-422/485 interface. This enables interference-free transmissions up to 1200 m. In order to improve the performance of bus systems, the RS-485 repeaters offer signal amplification and potential segmenting for larger transmission ranges and increased reliability. The devices therefore enable various systems to be connected using tried-and-tested I/O devices. The electrical isolation protects the components against dangerous compensating currents.
