DIN Mount Converter

DCP DIN Rail Mount Converter and Line Driver Product Family

Data communication systems in industrial and institutional environments can present special problems.

  • Lines must be run over long distances, often ranging from thousands of feet to several miles, indoors and outdoors and from building to building
  • Systems must be able to function in the presence of electrical transients and noise, ground loops, power surges, and nearby lightning strikes

Our heavy duty converters/line drivers “harden” and protect these systems and can extend data communication networks for many miles without expensive cabling.

  • DCP485 – Fully isolated RS-232/RS-485 converter/line driver
  • DCP35 – Signal powered RS-232 line driver

FAQ

Due to resource constraints on my computer, I'm unable to open the three dimensional CAD models provided on your website. Does Dataforth provide two demensional CAD models for download as well?
Two dimensional CAD models can be generated upon customer request. Please contact Customer Service for assistance.
Can Dataforth provide calibration reports for modules I purchased?
Yes we can provide calibration reports for the modules that you purchased. You can either a) visit https://www.dataforth.com/TestDataReport.aspx to search for Test Report Datasheets by Serial Number or b) you can send us a list of model numbers and their serial numbers to support@dataforth.com
