With this handy stick your are able to connect your PC/Notebook to the world of
RS-485 devices. The galvanical isolation electrically separates the PC from the
RS-485 interface. Disruptive impulses from the RS-485 side, that destroy such
converters, are now things of the past.
With the help of galvanical isolation it is possible to connect your PC to industrial
facilities that operate on an different electrical level than the used PC or notebook.
