The 101-0090 RS-232 to RS-485 Converter provides a simple, galvanically isolated interface between an RS-232 serial port and 2-wire RS-485 devices. It features automatic direction control to switch between receive and transmit so RTS (Request-To-Send) is not needed. Isolation is important for systems where the ground loop may be broken allowing for large common mode voltage variation.

DIN rail mounting allows the converter to be quickly installed in your equipment rack, along with other DIN mounted equipment.
