Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UCC RS232 to RS485 Converter?

The Carlo Gavazzi UCC is a compact RS232 to RS485 serial interface converter designed for communication between equipment using different industrial serial standards. Developed for Carlo Gavazzi automation and ultrasonic sensing applications, the UCC provides a practical interface between an RS232 host and an RS485 communication network.

The converter is particularly useful when configuring or communicating with compatible Carlo Gavazzi equipment where an RS485 connection must be interfaced with an RS232 programming device or computer. It provides an RS232 9-pole D-Sub interface together with screw-terminal connections for the RS485 side and power supply.

Operating from a nominal 24 V DC supply ±20%, the UCC is housed in a compact format measuring approximately 38.5 × 80.5 mm. Its straightforward terminal connections make it suitable for commissioning, programming and serial communication tasks in industrial automation installations.

Key Advantages

  • Dedicated RS232 to RS485 serial interface conversion.

Reliable Serial Communication Conversion

RS232 and RS485 use different electrical signalling methods and cannot normally be connected directly. The Carlo Gavazzi UCC provides the required interface conversion, allowing compatible RS232 equipment to communicate with devices using an RS485 serial connection.

This makes the UCC useful during installation, commissioning and configuration of compatible industrial equipment. Its compact construction and straightforward D-Sub and terminal-block connections provide a convenient solution where legacy RS232 equipment needs access to an RS485 interface.

Typical Applications

  • RS232 to RS485 industrial communication conversion.
  • Programming and commissioning compatible Carlo Gavazzi equipment.
  • Ultrasonic sensor configuration systems.
  • Industrial automation communication interfaces.
  • Connection between PCs or programming equipment and RS485 devices.
  • Machine and process-control maintenance applications.
