Product Description
The Level Converter V5.0 is an interface converter that converts RS232 signals from a PC to the signal levels required for K-Line or RS485. Thanks to galvanic isolation of at least 1 kV, the PC hardware is reliably protected from malfunctions on the device under test (DUT). Available in two variants – a K-Line version and an RS485 version – in a robust housing, the Level Converter V5.0 offers flexible application possibilities in various fields of application.
Technical Description
The device accurately converts RS232 signals to the specific requirements of K-Line and RS485 communication:
K-Line: A bi-directional single-wire bus primarily used in the automotive industry for diagnostics and control (ISO 9141, ISO 14230-1).
RS485: A differential serial interface that excels in industrial applications due to its high noise immunity and suitability for long transmission distances.
The integrated galvanic isolation prevents unwanted voltage transfers and minimizes disturbances, ensuring a stable and secure data exchange.
