Converters from Phoenix Contact enable you to convert different serial interfaces to other standards in a protocol-transparent way. Thanks to electrical isolators, you can avoid dangerous compensating currents and protect end devices against transient coupling effectively.

Your advantages

Adapt and connect interfaces using converters
Increased range and speed, thanks to network segmentation
Avoid compensating currents, thanks to high-quality electrical isolation between individual bus segments

One device – three functions

RS-232 converter for RS-422 and RS-485

The RS-232 converter enables you to convert your RS-232 interface to the following formats:

RS-422: 4-wire point-to-point operation
RS-485: 2-wire operation, half duplex
RS-485: 4-wire operation, full duplex
Transmission speed from 4.8 kbps to 115.2 kbps

Additional features:

LED display for transmitting and receiving data
High-quality 3-way isolation between power supply, RS-232, and RS-422/RS-485 for safe decoupling of 2 kV potentials
Integrated surge protection with transient discharge to the DIN rail

Electrical interface isolator

RS-232 interface isolator

Increase the immunity of your RS-232 interface. The high-quality 3-way isolation results in a floating and interference-free interface.

This gives you important advantages:

High-quality 3-way isolation between power supply, RS-232, and RS-232 for safe decoupling of 2 kV potentials
For all transmission speeds up to 115.2 kbps
Transmission of data channels for outgoing data (TxD) and incoming data (RxD) as well as control lines RTS (request to send) and CTS (clear to send)
Display of active data transmission via separate data indicators for the transmitting and receiving channels
