RS-232-to-RS-485 Converter

Creative Micro Systems offers RS-232-to-RS-485 Converter. The CS-IC-485 is an interface converter for converting RS-232 to RS-485 and vice versa. The RS-422/485 interface allows for reliable transfer of information over longer distances compared to RS-232. In addition, the RS-485 also has the advantage of 'multi-drop' i.e. multiple devices can be connected in a ‘multi-drop fashion’ on the RS-485 interface.
The CS-IC-485 also provides optical isolation to protect the system from ground loops and electrical interference. The CS-IC-485 is also equipped with a surge supressor on the RS-485 port to suppress any noise induced on the port. It also provides a feature to enable or disable termination resistors for Tx and Rxo on both the channels.
