Introduction

|
Many important devices used in today's industrial environment
are
still designed for use with an RS-232 interface. However, RS-232 is a
point-to-point interface, and it imposes a distance limitation of only
15 meters between the device and the computer. To overcome these
limitations, many users employ RS-232 to RS-422/485 converters,
allowing RS-232 devices to connect to an industrial RS-422 or RS-485
network and transmit data over distances up to 1.2 km.
TCC-100/100I is an isolated RS-232 to RS-422/485 converter
designed
for users who need an industrial grade interface conversion product to
extend RS-232 transmission distance and increase networking capability.
Its superior industrial application design, which includes DIN-Rail
mounting, terminal block wiring, external terminal block power, and
optical isolation for system protection, makes TCC-100/100I suitable
for use in critical industrial environments. Simply put, your RS-232
devices can be used as part of an industrial RS-422/485 network, but
without any hardware or software changes.
ADDC™ (Automatic Data Direction Control)
ADDC™,
a MOXA leading technology, uses a clever hardware solution to take care
of the RS-485 data flow control problem. The RS-485 standard originally
used half-duplex communication and handshaking signals such as RTS/CTS
to control the direction of data flow. The TCC-100/100I converter uses
embedded ADDC™ technology, a hardware data flow solution, to
automatically sense and control data direction, making the handshaking
signal method obsolete.
Auto Baud Rate Detection
TCC-100/100I
incorporates a method for automatically detecting the serial signal
baud rate by hardware. This is an extremely convenient feature for the
user. Even if a device's baud rate is changed, the signal will still be
transmitted through the RS-232 to RS-422/488 converter without problem.
RTS/CTS RS-422 Handshaking Signal
TCC-100/100I
provides an RS-422 handshaking signal support. The RTS and CTS signals
provide an RS-422 handshaking signal, reducing the chance of data error.
