ADAM ADAM-4520
The ADAM-4520 isolated converter lets you take advantage of RS-422 and RS-485 on systems originally equipped with RS-232. It transparently converts RS-232 signals into isolated RS-422 or RS485 signals. The ADAM-4520 lets you easily build an industrial grade, long distance communication system with standard PC hardware.- Max Operating Temp : 70°C
- Min Operating Temp : -10°C

● Mounts easily on DIN-rail or panel Intelligent RS-485 control The RS-485 standard supports half-duplex communication. This means that just two wires are needed to both transmit and receive data. Handshaking signals (such as RTS, Request To Send) are normally used to control the direction of the data flow. A special I/O circuit in the ADAM-4510/4510S and ADAM-4520 automatically senses the direction of the data flow and switches the transmission direction. No handshaking signals are necessary—you can build an RS-485 network with just two wires. This RS-485 control is completely transparent to the user.
