Introduction

Overview

The MOXA RS-232 to RS-422/RS-485 bidirectional converters, A50 and A51, are

designed to convert unbalanced (single-ended) RS-232 signals to balanced

(differential) RS-422/RS-485 signals, and vice versa. They are the best choices for

those who want to control devices at longer distance and/or to communicate with

several devices via merely one link, particularly in the industry area. Point-to-point,

multidrop and simplex operations are available for most users' needs.

Features and Specifications

Features

Both A50 and A51 are RS-232 to RS-422/RS-485 bidirectional converters except

that A51 has one more feature: isolation protection, which provides high voltage

protection up to 2000V.

All the switches, SW1 and SW2, of A50/A51 are designed to be inside of the

converter to protect switch settings from unintended change and introducing

communication error without any warning. Hence, it is necessary to take the two

screws off and open the cover up if you need to change the operation mode via

sliding the switches.

The A50/A51 must be powered either from a DC +9V to +30V,

150mA power adapter or the pin 6 andpin 7 of the Terminal Block.

LED indicators are provided to show the status of data transmitting/receiving, RTS

signal and Power.

To avoid over-current from the remote ground to converter's ground, an protect

resistor has been added inside the A50/A51.
