The DCP485 is a compact RS-232 to RS-485 converter which features a complete electrical isolation barrier and heavy duty electrical surge protectors. These devices feature a DIN rail mountable enclosure for application to a junction box, a panel, a relay rack, the sides of computer equipment, or anywhere a DIN rail can be mounted. Isolation is provided by optical couplers and a transformer isolated DC-to-DC converter. The RS-232 connection is through male or female EIA 9-pin D-sub connectors, or a 3-wire RS-232 connection can be made through convenient pluggable screw terminals. The RS-485 connections are made through convenient pluggable solderless screw terminals.

The DCP485 series is designed for full duplex operation over two wire pairs. Outputs are tri-state, allowing multidropping of up to 32 units over one pair. Data rates are DC to 115.2K bits per second (baud). Four diagnostic LED indicators are provided for installation guidance and system troubleshooting. The RS-232 interface includes Request To Send (RTS) and Data Terminal Ready (DTR) either of which can be used via DIP switches to enable the RS-485 transmitter. Alternately, the DCP485 offers automatic line switching in which the RS-485 transmitter is enabled automatically by each character sent on the RS-232 Transmit Data (TD) line. Additionally, the RS-485 transmitter and receiver may be independently enabled continuously or under RS-232 control. A convenient null modem switch is provided for the data lines. Also, line termination switches independently connect line termination and line bias resistors to the RS-485 lines. The units are powered from wide-range voltages of +10 to +30VDC through pluggable solderless screw terminals.

Safe & Simple

We help businesses, engineers, and tech enthusiasts access premium products at a fraction of the original price — always tested and verified.

Every item undergoes a thorough functionality check before shipping.

That means you get “as-new” performance for up to 70% less than retail price. Then it is difficult to justify the purchase of a brand new HMI, IoT or Measurement device.

  • Always tested and verified.
  • Always fast delivery.
  • Always warranty & 30-day return policy.

Sustainability & Social Impact

Most of a product’s environmental footprint is created during manufacturing — from CO₂ emissions to water consumption and raw material waste. By giving surplus and demo units a second life, you help cut e-waste, reduce emissions, and save valuable resources.

But impact goes beyond the environment. Each year we proudly donate a portion of our revenue to Stockholm Stadsmission, supporting people in need. With every purchase, you make a choice that’s better for the planet — and better for society.
