Evaluation electronics
S DIS2116 (see separate data sheet)

Serial converter
S Interface converter SC232/422B (see separate data sheet)

1)
• Conversion of RS-232 into 4-wire RS-422/485
or into 2-wire RS-485 (switchable)
• Electrical isolation
• High EMC security (metal housing)
• Operating voltage range 8 ... 30 V DC
