Overview

CS-428i V2.0 is an industrial class isolation converter that provides the ability to convert RS232 signals to RS422 or RS485 signals. 5kV Digital isolator for overcurrent protection, such as GDT (Gas Discharge Tube) and Fuse with typical ESD, EFT, and Surge protection, but when the overcurrent is removed, reusable PPTC (Polymetal Positive Temperature Coefficient) provides complete external shock protection. It’s also a high-performance converter with more than 30 years of industrial hot humidity and system-based experience that provides innovative flexibility in connecting to each device connected to the communication line with self-diagnosis and ID registration, turn on and off.

High reliability

CS-428i V2.0, an industrial-grade serial converter, offers excellent protection against noise and surges commonly encountered in industrial environments. It meets KC and IEC standards such as 61000-4.2, 61000-4.3, and 61000-4.4, providing protection capabilities up to 15kV ESD Level 4 on its communication ports. With the application of a ±5KV high-grade digital isolator, it prevents costly equipment damage caused by external electrical shocks. Developed with the expertise of SystemBase, it incorporates components that ensure high reliability, delivering stable operation and outstanding performance even in harsh and demanding industrial environments.

Digital isolation functionality that provides high stability

CMOS digital isolation is an isolation technique that offers small size, high isolation performance, and low power consumption. It provides superior performance and reliability compared to traditional optical isolation methods. By electrically isolating input and output signals, it protects the main body from external noise or powerful electrical shocks caused by external motors, actuators, and other devices. When communicating with high-value equipment, it is essential to have isolation functionality to protect the equipment at a lower cost. CS-428i V2.0, incorporating this isolation feature, provides even greater longevity and stability performance.

Support for industrial-grade temperature and humidity, along with a range of power options available.

CS-428i V2.0 ensures stable operation under industrial temperature specifications ranging from -40℃ to 85℃ and humidity conditions of 5% to 90%. It also offers a variety of power specifications and input options, allowing users to customize it according to their specific environment in various industrial settings.

Functionality and flexible capabilities through ID configuration/registration/unregistration for versatile usage.

Leveraging the expertise of SystemBase, the leading domestic serial communication equipment company with more than 30 years of experience, CS-428i V2.0 provides filtering that allows users to selectively send and receive data through communication lines without special protocols.
