4-wire to 2-wire RS485 conversion and custom data conversion
The KD485-ADE-4XX-4XX from KK Systems is a DIN rail mounted interface converter with two serial ports which both support 2-wire or 4-wire RS485 .
A common application is attaching new 2-wire RS485 devices to an existing 4-wire RS485 bus . The KD485 is protocol transparent and RS485 driver control is performed transparently . Other port types available are RS232 and 20mA TTY .
User programmable versions also support data / protocol conversion .
The KD485 is powered from 7-35V DC and its 3-way isolation makes it ideal for industrial applications which require a robust unit with the full RS485 drive capability . Custom products are also available , including C user-programmable versions .
