Converter

Introduction

The converter is designed to provide the most versatile connection possible between two RS-232 serial equipment using fiber optic cable. It allows any two pieces of serial equipment to communicate full-duplex over typical duplex fibers,or over optional single fiber up to 20km. The converter supports transparent conversion for not only RS-232 data lines, but also all RS-232 control signals. It also supports all RS-232 baud rates with no need for user configuration. The Din-rail mountable design makes it ideal for industrial cabinets and enclosures.

Key features:
- High and wide operating temperature
- Wide operating voltage range
- Power input interface: Industrial screw terminal block and DC power jack
- DIN rail mounting support for industrial enclosure
- Screw panel mounting support for industrial enclosure
- Industrial-rated emission and immunity performance
- Transparent conversion for all RS-232 signals
- Auto adaptation and conversion to any RS-232 baud received
- Operation with no required configuration
- Extending all RS-232 signals over long optical cables
- Provides surge protection (transient voltage)on RS-232 signals
- Provides high ESD protection on RS-232 signals
- Provides optical isolation between RS-232 and main circuitry
- Low power consumption
- Industrial-rated emission and immunity performance
