The Moxa TCC-100 Industrial RS-232 to RS-422/485 Converter is a reliable solution for extending RS-232 communication distance and integrating legacy serial equipment into RS-422 or RS-485 networks. It enables transparent conversion between RS-232 and RS-422/485 signals, supporting both 2-wire and 4-wire RS-485, as well as RS-422 with RTS/CTS handshaking.
Designed for industrial environments, the TCC-100 features a rugged metal housing, IP30 protection, and flexible mounting options for wall or DIN-rail installation. With support for baud rates up to 921.6 kbps, it is suitable for high-speed data transmission. Its Automatic Data Direction Control (ADDC) simplifies RS-485 communication by automatically managing signal flow without the need for software drivers.
The TCC-100 is powered by a 12–48 VDC input, with overload protection for improved safety and reliability. For applications requiring galvanic isolation, the TCC-100I variant provides 2 kV optical isolation to protect devices from ground loop interference and electrical surges. Wide-temperature models (TCC-100-T and TCC-100I-T) operate from -40 to 85 °C, ensuring reliable performance in extreme environments.
LED indicators for power, Tx, and Rx activity provide at-a-glance monitoring, making troubleshooting and commissioning simple. With a long MTBF of over 3 million hours, the TCC-100 is a trusted and durable choice for critical automation and control applications.
