Our IC485+I interface converter provides Isolation and Auto baud capabilities, truly making it a no compromise interface converter. Isolation is important in installations where the equipment connected to the PC is either located far from the host system, or on a different power transformer circuit. Isolation on the IC485+I eliminates the effects of Ground Loop Current, a commonly neglected and misunderstood phenomenon that leads to data errors and the destruction of communications equipment. The IC485+I supports RS-422 full duplex mode as well as RS-485 full or half duplex master and slave modes.

Our Auto baud feature allows the device to operate without the presence of RTS Software. This reduces system overhead and allows the IC485+I to operate flawlessly regardless of the operating system. Onboard LEDs are included to indicate that the device is properly powered and also illuminate when the device is transmitting and receiving to assist in verifying acceptable communications. Connection to external devices is provided by a six position screw terminal block on the board. Provisions for strain relief are made within the case by a cable clamp/screw combination. This eliminates unwanted wire disconnects once the screw terminals are wired.
