Product Overview
A practical path for bringing installed serial equipment into modern industrial data networks.
The DT-9004 provides bidirectional conversion between RS232 and RS485 serial interfaces for linking a computer or host to compatible field equipment.
The official legacy source specifies a 300 to 115200 bps transmission range, less than 1200 metres on the RS485 side and within 15 metres on the RS232 side. A data indicator and built-in TVS protection support installation and fault observation.
