WuT 86201
Serial Interface RS232 <> RS422/485 Industry
The Interface connects devices equipped with an RS232 interface to RS422 or RS485 components. The built-in galvanic isolation ensures uninterrupted transmission in industrial environments.
Product properties:
Bi-directional conversion of an RS232 into an RS422 or RS485 interface
Compatible with RS485 2-wire and 4-wire bus systems
Automatic bus access control
No re-configuration of transmission parameters required
Galvanic isolation min. 1kV DC
Supply voltage 12..24V AC/DC
Careful circuit design and generous component dimensioning
and generous component dimensioning
Overvoltage protection for RS485 ports:
The maximum permissible differential voltage which is permitted to reach RS485 transceivers from the outside is limited to approx. ± 12...14V according to data sheet specifications of the chip manufacturer. Voltages which exceed these values will inevitably result in damage to or even destruction of the chips.
Shielded cables which run completely within a building should not generally see such high differential voltages, since coupling onto the transmission line is manifested as common mode interference: The potential of all cable leads is increased equally. In such applications the standard Interface Model 86201 can be used without any problems, since its galvanic isolation ensures that equal potential increases do not cause any damage.
When using the interface converter on transmission lines that run outside of buildings or when the cabling conditions are unclear, use of the 86203 Interface is advisable. This interface type features integrated overvoltage protection which limits the maximum occurring differential voltages to +/- 9V using fast protection diodes.
