IMC\/9R is an industrial electrical converter, RS232 to 50 V-isolated RS485 serial standard powered by 5 V – 12 V DC power supply. It can be used to allow PC or industrial machinery to communicate with a RS485 network, from DB9 connector with set screws to 3-pins Mini XLR connector. The 50 V isolation can be necessary to protect the PC against medium voltage surges. The device is completely Plug&Play, since it does not need any driver nor DIP switch. RS232 serial is Full Duplex, while the 50 V-isolated RS485 is Half Duplex. The RS232-RS485 serial converter automatically detects data direction and transmission data rate up to 250 kbps, so it can be easily installed in any new or existing network.<\/p>\n

Serial converters are typically used to communicate with old devices and machinery using RS232, and integrate them in a RS485 low voltage network. RS232 serial standard is still common for industrial appliances, but it has limited transmission range and it is vulnerable to electromagnetical noise. Electromagnetical interferences (EMI) are fairly common in industrial environments, so it is good practice not to use RS232 for serial communication to guarantee signal integrity. In case of heavy electromagnetical interferences, a section of optical fiber is recommended. Furthermore, optical fiber guarantees perfect electrical isolation in case of voltage surges or lightnings.<\/p>\n

RS232-RS485 converters are available also without isolation, with different combinations of serial standard, or with other connectors. ISC\/9R<\/a> converter for example is functionally identical to IMC\/9R, but data direction is controlled by RTS (Request To Send) software. RMC\/9R<\/a> and RMT\/9R<\/a> come with a non-isolated RS485, in case it was not necessary, with 3-pins Mini XLR or 8-pins RJ45 connectors, respectively. Industrial serial converters DFP\/9S<\/a> and DFP\/9A<\/a>\u00a0have synthetic optical fiber outputs, with screw connectors, in order to electrically isolate the appliance. Every combination of serial standard, optical fiber, and power supply, is however available, while special requests (such as higher data rates) can be made via the contact form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IMC\/9R is an industrial electrical converter, RS232 to 50 V-isolated RS485 serial standard powered by 5 V – 12 V DC power supply.<\/p>\n The device is completely Plug&Play, since it does not need any driver nor DIP switch.
