Programmable Converters
We offer three converters which can manipulate the data stream, using a user-developed program.
The KDE485 is a C programmable converter with serial, Ethernet and USB connectivity and analog I/O features. The development kit is free and license-free.
The PPC Programmable Protocol Converter has four serial ports which are RS232 but can be field-changed to RS422/485. It is programmed in Pascal (built-in) or C (a compiler purchased separately).
The KD485-PROG has two serial ports which are factory configured with any combination of RS232, RS422/485, or 20mA loop (TTY). It is programmed in C, with a compiler purchased separately.
KK Systems also offer a custom programming service.

KD485-PROG-422-20MA
£265.00 As low as: £225.25This interface converter is similar to the KD485-ADE with the addition of a 32kbyte EEPROM into which application specific data conversion programs can be loaded. It is typically used for protocol conversion applications. A MODBUS RTU SLAVE library is available to speed up the development of custom Modbus RTU converters.
Port 1 is RS422 or RS485. Port 2 is 20mA loop (TTY).
