1. DESCRIPTION
CONV32 Interface allows Full Gauge controllers, equipped with serial communication, to be connected to a computer that has a USB serial communications port.
The Interface then takes care of the transformation of the voltage levels used by the computer to the RS-485 voltage levels used by the controllers.
Full Gauge uses a RS-485 network to make the communication between the controllers and Sitrad software more reliable. The communication uses two wires (A and B), allowing the performance of
Half-Duplex communication, where the computer is the master and the controllers are slaves.
