Advantech Serial Connectivity Solutions

Advantech Serial Connectivity Solutions feature a broad selection of RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serial connectivity devices. These serial devices allow the designer to communicate effectively with a wide range of converters, repeaters, surge protectors, isolators, extenders, switches, combiners / splitters, and modems. Typical applications include industrial automation, medical, healthcare, and security.

Converters

Advantech RS-232 to 422/485 Converters come in wide temperature and power ranges and are ideal for harsh duty applications. Automatic Send Data Control, Modbus compatible. The RS-232 side features both a terminal block and a DB9 female connector, while the RS-485 side has a terminal block. These do require an external power supply, which is not included.

Isolators/Repeaters

Advantech Optically Isolators/Repeaters protect devices from transient surges and ground loops on data lines. The optical repeaters/isolators add 4,000 feet (1.2 km) and another 32 nodes to an RS-485 data circuit. By configuring one side as RS-422 and the other as RS-485, the models can act as a converter, allowing four-wire RS-422 equipment to communicate with a two-wire RS-485 device.

Modem Data Splitter

This splitter enables users to connect any two RS-232 devices to a single RS-232 device. This device allows two computers or terminals to connect to one modem without requiring a switch. This allows designers to gain reliability by capturing data from a single peripheral on multiple redundant PCs. By allowing users to share multiple PCs on a single peripheral, these serial RS-232 splitters also help improve a system's economy.
