KK Systems K2-ADE Interface Converter

The K2-ADE interface converter is a general purpose RS232-RS422 convertor ideal for driving point-to-point and multidrop equipment in industrial automation, broadcast and other applications. It is identical to the K2 but with the addition of a precision timing circuit which enables and disables the 485 driver according to the presence of RS232 data. The K2-ADE is intended for 2-wire RS485 applications, and for 4-wire RS485 applications where the K2-ADE is on the slave device. However, the ADE function can be switched off entirely and then the K2-ADE can be used for RS422.

• The K2-ADE replaces the K485-ADE
• Uses large suppression components to limit the common mode voltage to the range -1V
