Overview

The Littelfuse SE-485-DIN is a robust industrial converter designed for reliable serial communication in demanding environments. This unit facilitates seamless data exchange by converting TIA-485 signals to TIA-232 signals, enabling connectivity between industrial devices such as Littelfuse FPS, FPU-32, MPS, or MPU-32 controllers and computers or PLCs. Engineered to industrial network standards, the SE-485-DIN ensures dependable performance. It operates asynchronously with data rates up to 115,200 bps, supporting point-to-point or multipoint configurations over 2 or 4 wires. The converter features a terminal block connection type and DIN rail mounting for efficient integration into control panels. Power is drawn directly from the RS-232 data and control signals, eliminating the need for external power supplies or batteries. The operating temperature range is 32–122°F (0–50°C). Its compact dimensions of 2.66 x 2.10 x 0.73 inches (6.8 x 5.3 x 1.9 cm) make it suitable for space-constrained applications. The SE-485-DIN conforms to EIA-232 and EIA RS-485 standards and includes 600 watts of silicon avalanche diode surge protection per wire for enhanced reliability. It offers selectable RTS/CTS delay and selectable high/low impedance, along with switch-selectable carrier operation (continuous or RTS controlled). Control signals like DSR, DCD, and CTS are managed according to EIA standards. This converter is ideal for automation, process control, and data acquisition systems requiring stable serial protocol conversion.
