Black Box ICD400A Rugged RS232 to RS422/485 Interface Converter, Panel Mount

Black Box ICD400A Isolated RS-232 to RS-422/485 Converter, 5-Position Terminal Block

The ICD400A RS-232 to RS-422/485 serial converter is compact and tough. This model is designed and tested to meet heavy industrial EMC standards. The RS-232 signal is connected through a female DB9 connector. The RS-422/485 (2-wire and 4-wire) signal is connected through a five-position removable terminal block, making wiring easy. Power is connected through a two-position removable terminal block. Black Box's bit-wise-enabled circuitry automatically detects the character time-out, eliminating the need to set DIP switches for the baud rate. The ICD400A offers 2-kV Isolation and will stand up to -40 to +176° F (-40 to +80° C) temperature variations. It protects your expensive control equipment.
