TRENDnet TI-S400 RS232 to RS422/RS485 Converter Adapter (4-Pack)

The TRENDnet TI-S400 is a specialized pack of four RS232 to RS422/RS485 converter adapters, engineered for robust performance in industrial environments. This product directly addresses the challenge of integrating legacy serial devices with modern industrial networks that utilize the RS422 or RS485 standard. Its primary purpose is to provide a reliable physical layer conversion, enabling seamless communication between equipment with disparate serial interfaces. This solution is specifically targeted at engineers and technicians working with industrial control systems, SCADA applications, and factory automation hardware. At its core, the TI-S400 provides a straightforward yet critical function. Each adapter in the four-pack facilitates the conversion from a standard DB9 RS232 female port to a 5-pin terminal block required for RS422/RS485 connections. This passive conversion requires no external power, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure. The design is optimized for specific compatibility, ensuring dependable data transmission when used with TRENDnet's own TI-M12 and TI-M42 industrial modbus gateways, creating a fully integrated and validated communication pathway. These compact adapters are designed for discrete placement within control cabinets, machinery, or any location where industrial gateways are deployed. Their simple form factor allows for quick and easy installation, immediately bridging the gap between older serial peripherals and the industrial network backbone. Management is non-existent as the device is a plug-and-play hardware solution, intended to be installed and left to operate reliably without further intervention. This focus on simplicity and reliability makes it an essential component for system integrators.
