ICM5 signal converter: protocol converter
(protocol converter from RS 232 to RS 485 or RS 422) 

The ICM5 signal / protocol converter can connect devices with RS 232 protocols to other devices with RS 485 or RS 422 protocols if there is a concordance between data formats. The ICM5 signal converter has galvanic insulation to avoid damages in the connected instruments produced by peak voltages, etc.... The ICM5 signal / protocol converter has three LED on the front panel to indicate if there is enough power (the green LED is lighted) or if the device is sending (the red LED is flashing) or receiving signals through the RS 232 protocol. The ICM5 signal/protocol converter is powered by 9 - 26 VDC. The ICM5 signal/protocol converter is simply slid on a C-rail or mounting rail.   
The ICM5 signal/protocol converter is delivered with a default setting which means that the desired conversion is normally performed in the 99% of the cases without adapting the instrument but simply by holding the device and start working.

 - Converts RS 232 to RS 485 / RS 422
 - Galvanic insulation up to 1000 VDC
 - 9-terminal SUB D socket for the RS 232
   connection.
 - RJ11 socket or terminal block for the connection
   of RS 485 / RS 422
 - Automatic checking of RS 485 emission and
   reception. No adjustments are required.
 - Baud rate: 9.600, 19.200, 38.400, 57.600 or
   115.200
 - Semi duplex (RS 485) and duplex compl (RS
   422)
 - Selectable DTE & DCE
