RS-232 serial ports. Though widely accepted, RS-232 has limited
transmission speed, range, and networking capabilities. The RS-422
• Plug-in screw terminal wiring: Accepts AWG 1- #12 or
and RS-485 standards overcome these limitations by using
2- #14 ~ #22 (0.5 to 2.5 mm2) wires
differential voltage lines for data and control signals. The
ADAM-4520/4522 converter lets you take advantage of RS-422 and • Operating temperature: -10 to 70° C (14 to 158° F)
RS-485 on systems originally equipped with RS-232. It transparently • Dimensions: 60 mm x 120 mm (2.36" x 4.41")
converts RS-232 signals into isolated RS-422 or RS-485 signals.
You do not need to change your PC's hardware or your software. ADAM-4510/4510S
The ADAM-4520/4522 lets you easily build an industrial grade, long
distance communication system with standard PC hardware. • Transmission speed (bps): 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19.2 K, 38.4 K, 57.6 K, 115.2 K (switchable)
The ADAM-4510/4510S repeater simply amplifies, or boosts, existing

RS-422/485 signals to enable them to cover longer distances. It
extends the communication distance by 4000 ft. (1200 m) or • RS-422/RS-485 interface connector: Plug-in screw terminal
increases the maximum number of connected nodes by 32. • Power consumption: 1.4 W

The RS-485 standard supports half-duplex communication. This 19.2 K, 38.4 K, 57.6 K 115.2 K, RTS control and RS-422 mode
means that a single pair of wires is used to both transmit and receive (switchable)
data. Handshaking signals such as RTS (Request To Send) are
• Isolation voltage: 3000 VDC (ADAM-4520 only)
normally used to control the direction of the data flow. A special I/O
circuit in the ADAM-4510/4510S and ADAM-4520/4522 automatically • RS-232 interface connector: Female DB-9
senses the direction of the data flow and switches the transmission • RS-422/RS-485 interface connector: Plug-in screw terminal
direction. No handshaking signals are necessary—you can build an
RS-485 network with just two wires. This RS-485 control is • Power consumption: 1.2 W
