The DGH A1000 series converter boxes convert RS-232
communications signal levels to the correct electrical signals required by RS-485.
RS-485 is recommended when many DGH modules, or other addressable
devices, must be connected to a host computer over long distances. The A1000
converters allow communications bus lengths up to 4,000 feet and baud rates up
to 115.2K
baud using one twisted pair of wires.
RS-485 allows bi-directional data on the same pair of wires,
therefore some means of arbitrating the data direction is required. The A1000 converters automatically control the bus direction without the need for external
handshaking signals from the host computer. Therefore, host software written for
half-duplex RS-232 may be used without modification. The RS-485 bus control is completely
transparent to the user.
