  • Intended for RS232 to 2-wire RS485 conversion

  • Microprocessor-controlled automatic RS485 driver control

  • RTS Control not needed

  • Not recommended for RS232 to RS422 (use K3)

  • DB9 female connector at both ends

  • Plugs directly into a standard PC DB9 RS232 port

Details

A general purpose RS232 to RS422 or RS485 isolated converter which contains a microprocessor which enables and disables the RS485 driver according to the presence of RS232 data. The K3-ADE is intended for 2-wire RS485 applications. It is also suitable for 4-wire RS485 applications where the K3-ADE is on the Slave device.

The ADE function can be disabled, to operate as the K3-TB RS232 to RS422 converter.

The K3-ADE has a DB9 female connector at both ends.

Do not confuse the K3-ADE with imitations which claim to be self-powered but which in fact require power to be supplied to both sides of the converter, or which require about 40mA - far too much for any PC interface to supply.

  • Automatic RS485 driver enable (ADE)
  • Isolation 100% tested at >1000V AC
  • RS232 port-powered in most applications
  • 1200-38400 baud
  • Very low supply current
  • RS232 output swings above and below ground
  • Very low cost
