Description

The MCS-485-GATEWAY serves as a communication bridge between RS-485 and RS-232 signal levels and protocols. Designed primarily for half-duplex, 2-wire communication, it enables reliable connectivity between MCS microcontrollers and devices such as a local PC, modem, or MCS-ETHERNET module. It can function either as a standalone interface or as part of a larger networked system.

Part Number: MCS-485-GATEWAY

Communications bridge between the signal levels and protocols of RS-485 and RS-232. Supports baud rate of 19.2Kb/sec as standard.

Part Number: MCS-485-GWY9600

Communications bridge between the signal levels and protocols of RS-485 and RS-232. Supports baud rate of 9.6Kb/sec as standard.
