GENERAL DESCRIPTION and TYPICAL APPLICATIONS:
The ASC24T is a fast Async bi-directional RS232 to 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. The unit has edge mounted LED indicators, a removable screw terminal connector, and uses an SN75LBC184P limited slew rate transceiver (1/2 unit load) with built-in transient protection.
The ASC24T is designed for office and/or industrial applications (non-isolated), and provides superior characteristics/features normally found only on more expensive units. Can be used for point to point, or multi-drop 2-wire systems.
