Industrial Multi-Bus Converter – USB/RS232/TTL to RS232/485/TTL

For anyone who loves electronics and have had the opportunity to work in an industrial sector with their skills, you will certainly know just how complicated it can get in a noisy, busy, ESD-filled warehouse, factory or similar type of environment can be. Fortunately, however, despite how electrically noisy these types of environments can get, we have awesome communications techniques and protocols like the RS485 protocol, which we can utilise for effective communications even amongst noisy machines and electricals. With USB, RS485, RS232 and TTL communications at our fingertips, the landscape for serial communication gets even broader.

This Industrial Multi-Bus Converter allows for communication between two groups of ports on either side – USB, RS232, or TTL to RS232, RS485, or TTL. With a built-in power isolation, digital isolation and protection circuits, the Multi-Bus Converter is your safe one-stop station for communication between your serial devices. Industrial equipment and applications with high communication requirements greatly benefit from these multi-bus converters, giving you more control. The aluminum allow enclosure features a polished solid surface as the Industrial Multi-Bus Converter reliably provides stable and fast communicating.

Please Note: This Industrial Multi-Bus Converter supports communication between two groups found on either side of the module. A complete communication between the Group A (USB/RS232/TTL) terminals and Group B (RS232/RS485/TTL) terminals will only occur when a single pair of devices is matched.

When it comes to producing unique electronics components and modules, there are very few brands that can provide the quality that Waveshare can. Based in the Futian District in Shenzhen, China, Waveshare are experts in developing electronics to a high standard of quality, which have been thoroughly tested to work seamlessly with corresponding development platforms and systems – such as the E-Ink HATs for Raspberry Pi’s.

What we love most about Waveshare is how they are dedicated to providing quality products, and have moved away from the typical “Made in China” stigma – cheap products with cheap parts and components. Instead, Waveshare understand the value of supplying quality products and building sustainable relationships with international resellers and distributors. They know that consistent quality will result in consistent business, and as such they always ensure strict quality control for each and every product that comes out of the manufacturing plant.

We are always excited to peruse through their vast catalogue of exciting new products to find unique modules, components or even entire development boards that are designed with quality in mind. Because we know that every cent that we spend with Waveshare will be well-spent, with each product that order adding real value to our own catalogue of products.
