SystemBase – Industrial RS232 to RS422/485 Serial Converter, Industrial RS232 to RS422/485 Serial Adapter, mini size, 15kV ESD Protection (BASSO-1010DS)

BASSO-1010DS converts RS-232 signals to RS-422 or RS-485 signals, and RS-422/485 signals to RS-232 signals. No additional software is required for operation. Dip switch enables selecting various operation or interface such as RS-422 or RS-485. BASSO-1010DS is a converter for industrial use which provides high performance and functionality supporting serial communication speed of up to 921.6Kbps. It also supports various options such as Echo mode, Terminal Resistance ON/OFF and power LED. High Reliability Considering the unstable industrial sites, preventive measures against electrical shocks such as external overvoltage are applied and reliable components are used to simultaneously provide high reliability and performance. Auto RTS Control (Auto Toggling) The BASSO-1010DS has a built-in hardware feature that performs automatic toggling to prevent devices from sending data simultaneously. This operation is crucial when multiple devices are connected to prevent electrical collisions that lead to errors and unstable communications. What is RS485 Echo Mode? Different from RS485 Non-echo mode, RS485 Echo Mode enables the output signal line to function as the input signal. Therefore, it is not necessary to read the echoed data to confirm whether the data sent crashes with data sent by another device. On BASSO-1010DS, all operations are controlled by the hardware so no additional modifications are required to the application program.
