PPC-E
Serial programmable protocol converter (4 port), RS232/422/485
The PPC - Programmable Protocol Converter is a unique self-contained product which you can use to rapidly produce your own custom data conversion solutions. All you need is an ANSI "dumb" terminal or any PC. Suitable PC software is included.
The PPC's four ports are individually field-configurable to RS232 or RS422/485 (both 2- and 4-wire).
With its built-in compiled Pascal and a WordStar-compatible full-screen editor, the PPC is easier to program than any other "comms box" and far easier than the typical 80x86-based single board computer or PC.
In addition to Pascal, the PPC can also be programmed in ANSI C. C programs are highly portable between the PPC and the DIN rail mounted 2-port KD485-PROG converter.
