Signal Powered High Speed
RS-232 to RS-485 Converters
Dataforths Model LDM2485A & LDM2485B high speed, RS-232 to RS-
485 interface converters can turn your PC, termnal or other RS-232 device
into an RS-485 workstation. Operating over 2 to 4 wires, at data rates up to
115.2 kbps, Models LDM2485A & LDM2485B let your RS-232 machine talk
wth up to 50 addressable devices in a multipoint polling environment. Since
multipoint environments can be difficult to work wth, these products have
five separate configuration parameters (carrier control, RTS/CTS delay,
receive impedance, transmt-off impedance and echo) that allowyou to fine
tune the converters to your particular application. And to keep your application
up and running, both models have built in surge protection. The Model
LDM2485A has a DB-25 connector for RS-232 environments, while the Model
LDM2485B has a DB-9 connector for EIA-574. Both models have several
options for twisted pair connection.
