Convert RS232 to and from RS422 and RS485 signals
Red Lion's new ICM5 converter automatically senses traffic to convert RS232, to and from RS422 and RS485 signals and provides three-way 1000V isolation
It offers a convenient connection via DB9, RJ11 or terminal block, which prevents miswiring and results in timesavings.
Internal pull-up and pull-down resistors resolve compatibility problems, while switchable termination and biasing resistors add further functionality.
The ICM5 is versatile and forward compatible, featuring a 9-24 VDC power range, switch-selectable baud rates from, 9600 to 115.2K, and LED indicators for power, transmit and receive.
The maximum cable length for RS232 is 50 feet (15.24m) and for RS485 is 4000 feet (1219.2m).
The compact unit fits both G and T DIN rail mounts.
Operating temperatures for the ICM5 range are from 0 to +50øC whilst storage temperatures can be anywhere between -40 and +75øC.
Operating and storage humidity is 85%, whilst maximum, non condensing, relative humidity is 0 to +50øC.
The ICM5 operates at up to 2000 meters and its power requirements are +9 to +26 VDC at 125 mA maximum, and 85 mA typical.
Operating power supply is Class 2 or SELV rated.
