Red Lion's ICM4/5 serial converters provide the capability of connecting equipment with RS‑485 serial communications to equipment with RS‑232 communications. The ICM4/5 features user‑selectable full or half duplex operation for ease of deployment. This serial converter module converts physical media types, but does not convert data formats. The ICM5 can be configured for DTE or DCE operation, allowing the use of modem or null‑modem cables.
Performance: The ICM4/5 each provide three LED lights for status that can be viewed from the front of the converter. The serial converter LEDs display power, as well as transmit and receive activity. Power is provided by 9 to 26 VDC via removable terminal block. The ICM5 also provides robust 3‑way signal isolation, preventing undesirable interference. The unit is equipped with a universal mounting foot for attachment to standard DIN rail, including top hat profile rail according to EN50022 ‑ 35 x 7.5 mm and 35 x 15 mm, and G profile DIN rail according to EN50035 ‑ G32.
