Solid Automotive Interface Converter

The IC485S is a reliable and durable converter that works great in an automotive setting. According to my experience, this converter accurately converts RS-232 signals to RS-485 signals, making it easy to connect different devices together in my garage. The build quality is solid and it's easy to install. However, the instructions could be clearer for those less tech-savvy. Overall, a great investment for those looking for a high-quality interface converter in the automotive industry.

Pros
  • Easy and quick installation with no software required.
Cons
  • May require additional cables for proper operation.

RS-422 works, 485 didn't work for me

I was having timing issues using RS485 conversion mode. Blocks from other manufacturers worked perfectly. This works in RS-422 mode.

Pros
  • Point-to-point, multidrop and selectable simplex/duplex
Cons
  • Unsure

Replacement RS-232 converter

Replace what I suspect is the faulty converter and system communication will be restored and operational. It's been years since the original install so I was a bit nervous but the instructions were well written so installation was easy. The device appears to be constructed exactly as we bought it a year ago, so I'm glad the manufacturing methods haven't changed. seems to be changing.

Pros
  • Monitor configuration support
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.
