RS232 to RS422/RS485 converters and isolators


B.E.S.D. is a reliable supplier of RS232 to RS422/RS485 converters, offering a diverse range from various manufacturers to meet the specific needs of industrial communication systems. These converters play a crucial role in facilitating communication between devices with RS232 interfaces and those utilizing RS422 or RS485 protocols.

The converters provided by B.E.S.D. come in versions with and without galvanic isolation between the RS232 and RS422/RS485 ports. Galvanic isolation is a critical feature that ensures electrical separation between these ports, preventing the occurrence of "ground loops." Ground loops can lead to serious damage to the COM-port and other connected equipment. By implementing galvanic isolation, these converters enhance the reliability and safety of communication in industrial settings.

For additional protection of the COM-port, B.E.S.D. offers port isolators in various versions. These isolators contribute to safeguarding the COM-port from potential issues, providing an extra layer of protection in sensitive applications.

Moreover, B.E.S.D. supplies programmable RS232 to RS422/RS485 protocol converters, adding a level of flexibility to meet specific communication requirements. The programmable nature of these converters allows for customization based on the unique protocols and configurations used in diverse industrial environments.
