Serial Data Converters
|
At B&B Electronics, we consider converting serial data from one format to another as an art. We have mastered this art and offer a multitude of RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 and Fiber Optic Converters designed for industrial automation, process control, building automation, power utility, waste water treatment, and many other industries.

TTL Converters
Make easy connections between your TTL equipment and RS-232 ports. All models convert two channels in each direction from TTL to RS-232 or RS-422.
|
|
Current Loop Converters
Current loop devices use current on or current off to transmit binary digits. B&B converters interface RS-232 and RS-422/485 systems to the most common current loop ports, 20 mA ports with open circuit voltages up to 30 V. Many models can be modified for higher loop currents and voltages.
|
|
Baud Rate Converters
Many older devices lack the option to reconfigure baud rate, data format and handshaking. Model 232BRC acts as a translator between asynchronous devices, matching each device’s needs while maintaining the highest possible throughput.

|
PDA Serial Converters
If you’re tired of lugging a laptop around for field service and data collection chores, here’s great news! PDA converters from B&B Electronics, along with your Palm PDA, provide a pocket-size replacement for that heavy laptop. They connect your Palm PDA to any RS-485 or RS-422 serial device or network.

|
Serial to Parallel
The Model 232SPS2 converts data from a parallel port to a serial communication format, or from a serial port to a parallel communication format. Connects directly between computer and printer without making any software modifications. A built-in 96-byte buffer prevents data loss.
