The OMG-CONV-485 interface 
converter allows a standard RS-232 
port to communicate with an 
individual RS-422 device or with 
multiple devices within an RS-485 
network. The OMB-CONV-485 
supports RS-422 full duplex mode as 
well as RS-485 full or half-duplex 
master and slave modes. This gives 
the user flexibility in configuring the 
device to meet their specific 
application needs. Onboard LED’s 
are included to indicate that the 
device is properly powered and also 
illuminate when the device is 
transmitting and receiving to assist in 
verifying acceptable communications. 
A six-position screw terminal block on 
the board provides connection to 
external devices. Provisions for strain 
relief are made within the case by a 
cable clamp/screw combination. This 
eliminates unwanted wire disconnects 
once the screw terminals are wired.
The OMB-CONV-485-ISO is an 
isolated version of the OMB-CONV-
485. Isolation is important in 
installations where the equipment 
connected to the PC is either 
located far from the host system, or 
on a different power transformer 
circuit. Isolation on the OMB-CONV485-ISO eliminates the effects of 
ground loop current, a commonly 
neglected and misunderstood 
phenomenon that leads to data 
errors and the destruction of 
communications equipment.
The Auto Baud feature allows the 
device to operate without the 
presence of RTS software. This 
reduces system overhead and allows 
the OMB-CONV-485 to operate 
flawlessly regardless of the operating 
system.
