1. INTRODUCTION
IPEX PH232T485Y11 is a Bi-Directional RS-232/TTL UART to RS-485 and RS-422 Converter that
converts RxD & TxD signals of RS-232 standard to differential (Data+ & Data-) signals of RS-485
standard and (RX+, RX- & TX+, TX-) signals of RS-422 standard at a same time. It works with Baud-
Rate from 300bps to 230400bps
Since RS-485 is a Half-Duplex standard, switching between Transmit and Receive is done
automatically and further signals (such as RTS) are not required. PH232T485Y11 supports Point-to-
Point and Point-to-Multi Point Party Line network topologies.
There are 3kV Optical and Electrical insulations have between RS-232/TTL UART and RS-485/422
sides, thus using this device in the RS-485/RS-422 line, can be very effective in eliminating electrically
and electromagnetically noises.
Protection against Surge, ESD and EMI is considered in its design, so, PH232T485Y11 is good for
industrial usage and is useful for Industrial Automation, Telecommunications, SCADA Systems, DCS
Systems and …

8. PORT SETTINGS
-RS-422
To use PH232T485Y11 as a RS-232 to RS-422 converter, it is not required to set a Baud-Rate and DIP-
Switch condition (on the Top Panel), is not important.
-RS-485
Before using PH485iX as a RS-232 to RS-485 converter, it is necessary to set the DIP-Switch (on the top Panel)
to appropriate state according to the desired Parity and Baud-Rate. PH232T485Y11 supports a wide
range Baud-Rates from 1200 bps to 921600 bps.
Set the DIP-Switch state according to the following table to set the suitable Baud-Rate.
-Parity
Set the Parity type by the DIP-Switch keys number 1 and number 2 on the device. “None”, “Even”
and “Odd” Parity type are supported by PH485iX. The Parity setting are shown in the following
table.
-Stop Bit
1 and 2 bits are selectable for Stop Bit according to the following figure:
-Data-Length
7-Bits and 8-Bits Data-Length are supported by PH485iX. Set Data-Length by key number 4.

-Baud-Rate
Four keys from number 5 to number 8 are used to set Baud-Rate as the following table.
Example: Setting Baud-Rate = 9600bps, Data-Length = 8bits, Stop Bit = 1bit and Parity = None, are
done as in the table below.
