RS-422/485 Repeater
Introduction
Most industrial puter systems e with RS232 serial ports as standard. Though widely accepted, RS-232 has limited transmission speed, range and networking capabilities. The RS-422 and RS-485 standards overe these limitations by using differential voltage lines for data and control signals. The ADAM-4520/4522 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 RS-485 signals. You don't need to change your PC's hardware or your software. The ADAM-4520/4522 lets you easily build an industrial grade, long distance munication system with standard PC hardware. The ADAM-4510/4510S repeater simply amplifies, or boosts, existing RS-485 signals to enable them to cover longer distances. It extends the munication distance by 4000 ft (1200 m) or extends the number of connected nodes by 32. ADAM-4520/4522

Tough industrial design
You can power the ADAM-4510/4510S and ADAM4520/4522 with any unregulated power source between +10 and +30 VDC. Their industrial-grade plastic shells can be mounted on a DIN-rail, panel or in a piggybacked stack.
