VCL-3040, RS232 to RS485 Converter

Get Data Sheet

The VCL-3040, Quad RS232 to RS485 Converter is a ruggedized, robust, sub-station-hardened converter which converts the Serial RS232 data in to RS485 data and vice versa. VCL-3040 is a bi-directional serial interface converter which enables the interconnectivity between serial RS232 and RS485 interfaces. The VCL-3040 meets and complies with the IEC-61850-3, EMI, EMC, Surge and Temperature specifications making it suitable for sub-station installations to provide uninterrupted service even in the most demanding and harsh environments.

IEC-61850-3 EMI, EMC, Surge Quad RS232 to RS485

Application:

The most common application for the VCL-3040, Converter is for augmenting legacy RTUs and Energy Meters that provide serial RS485 data in sub-stations and SCADA data networks. By simply installing a VCL-3040, Converter the existing RS485 RTUs and Energy Meters can be connected to the existing serial RS232 data communication network.

Another common application for the RS232 to RS485 converter is to extend serial RS232 connectivity over the copper wires over long distances. VCL-3040 converter can be installed to extend the distance between communication equipment and RTU / Energy Meter / any other device providing serial RS232 interface.
