RS-422/485 Repeaters

Most industrial computer systems come with standard RS-232 serial ports. Though widely accepted, RS-232 has limited transmission speed, range and networking capabilities. The RS-422/485 standards overcome these limitations by using differential voltage lines for data and control signals. The RS-422/485 repeater simply amplifies, or boosts, existing RS-422/485 signals to enable them to cover longer distances. It extends the communication distance by 1200m (4,000 ft.) or increases the maximum number of connected nodes by 32.

RS-232/422/485 Converters

The serial media converters provide conversion between serial networks and other media. They can transparently convert RS-232 signals to RS-422/485 signals, as well as convert RS-422/485 to RS-232 signals without changing the PC's hardware or software. The converter lets you easily build an industrial grade, long distance communication system with standard PC hardware.

ADAM-4520

Isolated RS-232 to RS-422/485 Converter
		Main Features Automatic RS-485 data flow control 3000 VDC isolation protection Surge protection RS-485 data line Transmission speed up to 115.2 Kbps Networking up to 1200 meters (4000 feet) Reserved space for termination resistors Power and data flow indicator for troubleshooting Power requirement: +10 to +30 VDC Mounts easily on a DIN-rail, panel or piggyback

Introduction
Most industrial computer systems come with standard RS-232 serial ports. Though widely accepted, RS-232 has limited transmission speed, range, and networking capabilities. The RS-422 and RS-485 standards overcome these limitations by using differential voltage lines for data and control signals. The ADAM-4520/4522 converter lets you take advantage of RS-422 and RS-485 on systems originally equipped with RS-232. It transparently converts RS-232 signals into isolated RS-422 or RS-485 signals. You do not need to change your PC's hardware or your software. The ADAM-4520 lets you easily build an industrial grade, long distance communication system with standard PC hardware. It extends the communication distance by 4000 ft. (1200 m) or increases the maximum number of connected nodes by 32.

ADAM-4521

Addressable RS-422/485 to RS-232 Converter
		Main Features Automatic RS-485 data flow control 1000 VDC isolation protection Surge protection RS-485 data line Transmission speed up to 115.2 Kbps Networking up to 1200 meters (4000 feet) Reserved space for termination resistors Power and data flow indicator for troubleshooting Power requirement: +10 to +30 VDC Mounts easily on a DIN-rail, panel or piggyback RS-232 and RS-485 can be set to different baud rates Watchdog timer function Software confi gurable to either addressable or non-addressable mode All communication setups stored in EEPROM

Introduction
The ADAM-4521 is an intelligent RS-422/485 to RS-232 converter specifically designed to connect RS-422/485 devices to an RS-232 network. RS-232 is the most common transmission standard. Although widely available on most computer systems, measurement equipment, PLCs, and industrial devices, its transmission speed, communication distance, and especially networking capability are limited due to unbalanced transmission. The ADAM-4521 addressable converter solves this problem and lets you easily build up an RS-485 network with your RS-232 devices by assigning each one an address for easier communication.
