Serial Data Switches
Standard and Specialty Converters
Simplify networking administration of serial devices with serial data switches.
We’ve made a specialty of converting serial data from one format to another, and we offer the industry’s broadest selection of RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 and fiber optic converters designed for industrial automation, process control, building automation, power utility, wastewater treatment and other industrial applications. Port-powered, CAN, TTL, current loop and more!
• Model 232BSS4 lets a single RS-232 port on your PC communicate seamlessly with four or more RS-232 devices. • Model 232MSS2 is a compact four-port mini-switch with enhanced features that automatically control transmit/receive functions. • Model 485DSS is a distributed smart switch designed for connecting to scattered RS-232 devices.
CAN - Isolator & Fiber Converter • Optical isolation to 2 kV • DIN rail mount • Terminal block connections • Extend node capacity of your network TTL Converters • All models convert two channels in each direction from TTL to RS- 232/422 • Isolated and non-isolated versions available • Variety of power options available, including port powered, USB bus powered or powered by an external power supply
6
Current Loop Converter • Transmit (T+ and T-) and receive (R+ and R-) loop • Maximum baud rate recommendation is 19.2 kbps • Wide operating temperature range
Port Combiners and Splitters Monitor and control multiple serial devices with a single PC or allow multiple PCs to share the same peripheral with our serial port combiners and splitters. • Two or more serial devices can share the same PC port • Use port splitters to connect two or three PCs with one peripheral (modems, scanners, scales, other serial devices)
