SW485GI is a device that can act as a RS-232 to RS-485 converter or RS-485 repeater, while only one of these functions can be used at a time. The converter is ideal for industrial applications where RS-485 signal amplification or RS-232 to RS-485 bus conversion is required, with the ability to extend the bus up to 3000m. The converter automatically detects the baud rate and the type of port to which the devices are connected.
Features of the SW485GI industrial converter and separator
The device features a fully industrial design, wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C, DIN-rail mountable metal housing, built-in 3000V galvanic isolation and 12-36VDC power supply range, connected on a 3-pin screw connector. The converter supports 3-pin RS-232, 5-pin RS-422 and 3-pin RS-485, with TX, RX, GND signals for RS-232, T+, T-, R+, R-, GND signals for RS-422, and D+, D- and GND signals for RS-485.
Application of the SW485GI industrial repeater in practice
In practice, the repeater SW485GI will be perfect for installations where there is electromagnetic interference on the RS-485 bus or the bus voltage is too low to achieve smooth communication. The function of RS-232 to RS-485 converter can be used wherever the RS-232 port requires communication with RS-485 devices, often used for controlling PTZ cameras, reading industrial scales, readers or scanners. Most often, in order to be able to extend the RS-232 bus communication distance itself, end devices with RS-485 interface and hardware converter from RS-232 to RS-485 are used.
The best-rated asset of the device is the very good value for money of the device. The SW485GI is an excellent choice for customers with high quality requirements, which, together with the 5-year warranty, makes for a recommendable industrial product.
