1. Brief: UT-2217 RS-485

Comply to RS-232C and RS-485, UT-2217 convert RS-232 2、RS-485 p o int to m u l ti-point

DB9 female, Rs485 in binding post. Plug-and-play and reliable UT-2217 RS-485

and stable point-to-point and point-to-multipoint

communication. For point-to-multipoint communication, as
many as 32 interface facilities of RS-485 standard can be
connected to each converter, and a high data transmission rate
of 300-115.2KBPS can be achieved. Power indicator light and
data traffic indicator light are also available with the converter
for malfunction indication.
IV. Hardware installment and application
RS-485
Read the user manual carefully before installing the UT-
2217 photoelectric isolation interface converter. Connect the
attached communication cable to RS-232 interface, and insert the
power supply converter to power socket.
