About Isolated Interface Converter
RS-232 to RS-422-485 Isolated Interface Converter
The ATC-107 is a sequence of a bi-directional interface converters, Models like ATC-107 optically isolate and convert instable, full or half-duplex RS-232 indicators to optically balanced, isolated, complete or half duplex RS-422 or RS-485 indications at baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. Such units also surge overpower the RS-422/485 lines. They support Send Data Control circuitry therefore no software control of handclasp lines is obligatory in RS-485 mode. ATC -107 has integral isolators for high voltage (2500V) guard. It offers Multidrop, Point-to-Point, and Simplex Operations. The ATC-107 can be power-driven from the DC 9V, 200mA power connecter and one slide switches are taken into use for constituting its operation mode.
