The Click 304 converts half-duplex RS-232 communication to RS-485 communication and vice versa
The Click 304 Serial Data Converter bridges the gap between the SmartSensor (or any other RS-232 connected device) and RS-485 protocols by converting communication from RS-232 to RS-485 and vice versa. It auto-detects SmartSensor’s pre-configured communication baud rates and the LEDs on the front of the module illuminate when corresponding data is successfully transmitted or received.
Click 304 connects equipment using half-duplex RS-232 and RS-485 communications. Its manufacturer documents automatic baud detection, activity indicators and removable terminals. The module is a serial-protocol interface, so the required conversion should be distinguished from Ethernet, Bluetooth or radio connectivity offered by other Click products.
Identify the devices at both ends of the connection, their serial interfaces and the existing power arrangement. Ask Fortran to confirm the module and any required accessories. Review the manufacturer's complete communication and environmental specifications before choosing a converter solely by its connector appearance or product-family name.
View the manufacturer product document for the model tables and drawings, or contact Fortran with your equipment details.
