Fast auto TX-enable RS232 <=> RS485 interface converter for 2-wire, half-duplex communications, at distances up to 4000 ft. and data rates up to 115.2Kbps.
Choose from two types of connectors.
The ASC24 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 has jumpers for bias, termination, RS232 DTE/DCE selection, and a setting for fast responding RS485 devices. Also, the unit has edge mounted LED indicators for power, TX data, and RX data. Model ASC24W has a spring-loaded Wago terminal strip that will accommodate 20-28AWG wire on the RS485 side of the interface. The Model ASC24R provides an RJ11/12 connector for RS485 connections.
The ASC24 is designed for office and/or indoor applications (non-isolated). Can be used for point to point, or multi-drop 2-wire systems.
