The RS-485 standard is used when more than two participants have to communicate. Converting the point-to-point interface, RS-232 to the bus-capable RS-485 standard makes it possible to network up to 32 terminals via a 2- or 4-wire line.
he Following Tasks Can Be Solved with this Converter:
Coupling an RS-232 Master Interface to an RS-485 Bus System
Integrating an RS-232 Terminal in an RS-485 Bus System
Networking of Up to 32 RS-232 Interfaces Via the RS-485 Standard (Provided They Can Be Addressed)
Setting Up a Temporary Programming and Parameterizing Link Between PC and PLC or Drive Regulators, for Example, with an RS-485 Connection
