Most industrial computer systems come with standard RS232 serial ports.Though widely accepted, RS232 has limited transmission speed, range, andnetworking capabilities. The RS485 standard overcomes such limitations by using differential voltage lines for data and control signals. The ADAM4520 converter lets you take advantage of RS485 on systems originally equipped with RS232. It transparently converts RS232 signals into isolated RS485 signals.

The ADAM4520 lets you easily build an industrial grade, long distance communication system with standard PC hardware. It extends the communication distance by 1200m or increases the maximum number of connected nodes by 32.
