Introduction

    The SW485WA is an industrial grade bi-directional port-powered 2500V opto-isolated RS232 to RS485 converter in a 9 pin format. It can convert any standard full duplex RS232C port to any two-wire balanced half duplex RS485 port. In simple terms, it will convert any RS232 signal to a RS485 signal and vice versa. The unit is powered from the RS232 data lines. It also supports data direction auto turnaround. Therefore, no external power or flow control is required. The data direction auto-turnaround automatically enables the RS485 driver when data is present on the RS232 side making the device plug-and-play, requiring no software drivers. The SW485WA has a DB9 female connector on the RS232 side and either a DB9 male connector or 3 bit terminal block on the RS485 side.
