Description
The X2-Series X2BS10X43 RS-232 and RS-485 expansion board provides one galvanically isolated RS-485 serial port and one RS-232 serial port with hardware flow control. Both ports are interfaced to the Compute module via an integrated FTDI FT2232HQ Hi-speed USB 2.0 Slave to Dual Channel UART / Serial Converter.
Features
- standard RS-232 interface with hardware flow-control support and electrostatic discharge protection, up to 115.200 bps
- standard RS-485 interface, with opto-isolator and electrostatic discharge protection, up to 115.200 bps
- Configurable local TX/RX echo on the RS-485 interface
- front panel LEDs show board power supply, RS-232 RX and TX activity, RS-485 RX and TX activity.
