Application
Most industrial computer systems come with standard
RS-232 serial ports. Though widely accepted, RS-232 has
limited transmission speed, range, and networking capabilities.
The RS-422 and RS-485 standards overcome those limitations
by using differential voltage lines for data and control signals.
The BSC3153i converter lets you to take advantage of
RS-422 and RS-485 on systems originally equipped with
RS-232. Two independent RS-485 output channels have their
own driver which can transmit signals over 1.2km distance on
each channel thus each channel can be connected to a
separate serial network. You do not need to change your PC's
hardware or your software. The BSC3153i lets you easily build
an industrial grade, long distance communication system with
standard PC hardware. They extend the communication
distance by 1.2km (4kft) or increase the maximum number of
connected nodes by 32. The BSC3153i also provides the
digital isolation for system protection
