The device links a 9-pin male RS-232 port to a 15-pin female RS-485 interface, translating single-ended lines into differential multi-drop communication loops. Operational power is drawn directly from the serial port pins of the connected host PLC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIC200ACC415\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGE Fanuc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 x 80 x 20 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-40 deg C to +70 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowered via PLC (5-30 VDC pin supply)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterface Connector A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9-pin D-sub male (RS-232)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterface Connector B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15-pin D-sub female (RS-485)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupported Protocols\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModbus RTU, SNP ASCII\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNetwork Topology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRS-485 Multi-drop network\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardware Diagnostics\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual LED indicators for TX and RX activity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSerial Bus Integration and Deterministic Networks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe converter adapter provides hardware-level layer conversion without requiring firmware flash compatibility modifications or protocol translation layers. Signal transmission speed and deterministic frame timing depend on the host PLC UART interface settings. By shifting single-ended RS-232 signals to balanced RS-485 differential signals, the module enables deterministic network expansion across long-distance multi-drop field networks executing Modbus RTU or SNP ASCII protocol commands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Does the IC200ACC415 adapter require an external power supply terminal?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No, the hardware draws its operational power directly from the 5-30 VDC supply pins on the host VersaMax Micro or Nano serial port connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: How are line communication states monitored on the hardware?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The adapter features integrated hardware LED indicators for TX and RX lines, providing direct visual feedback for data transmission and reception activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMount the IC200ACC415 adapter directly onto the serial interface port of the VersaMax Nano or Micro PLC using the integrated D-sub connector screw locks. Tighten the retaining screws by hand to ensure a mechanical seat and prevent connection loss caused by panel vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways run RS-485 field network wiring using shielded twisted-pair cables designed for differential RS-485 communication. Connect the cable shield to earth ground at a single grounding point to prevent ground loop currents. On long bus segments, place a 120 ohm termination resistor across the positive and negative data lines at both physical ends of the RS-485 cable run. Maintain a minimum clearance distance of 200 mm between serial signal wiring and high-voltage AC power conductors to minimize electromagnetic interference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GE Fanuc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43876855087203,"sku":"IC200ACC415","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/5246\/8067\/files\/235_6a2e7c77-a2a0-4067-8285-8abc7b47fee3.jpg?v=1765179590","url":"https:\/\/www.autocontrolglobal.com\/products\/ge-fanuc-ic200acc415-versamax-rs-232-to-rs-485-serial-converter","provider":"AutoControl Global","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
