Converter Plus or Converter Plus with Opto-Isolation
Opto-Isolation
The advantage of the RS-232↔
485/422 Converter Plus over
other line drivers and modems is
that it can also operate in multi-
point applications. Depending on
the operating environment, as
many as 32 devices can be linked
together using a single 2-wire
twisted-pair cable.
In the application pictured on the
right, an industrial controller is
used to gather information from
several remote programmable
logic controller stations (PLCs).
A system protocol has been
defined so that all the PLCs
receive the information sent by
the industrial controller, but only
the remote station specifically
addressed will respond. In this
system, the industrial controller
and all the remote stations are
DTE devices.

IC109A and IC109C protect
one segment of your
extended network from
problems that arise on the
other. Inside the RS-232
↔
485/422 Converter Plus with
Opto-Isolation, optical-
isolation circuits convert
electrical signals to light and
back again, to keep signal
noise and ground loops from
crossing between segments of
your RS-485 installation. That
means the electrical noise
from your factory floor won’t
affect your office communi-
cations, and the difference in
ground potential over long
distances and between
buildings won’t damage your
sensitive equipment.
