RS-422/485 Connection
The RS-422/485 port to terminal block connector is
shown below. Note that some RS-422/485 devices
are labeled “+” and “-” and some are labeled “B”
and “A”. In other words, Data (B) is equivalent to
Data (+) and Data (A) is equivalent to Data(-).

Note: As shown above, RTS and CTS are
shorted, and DTR, DSR, DCD are shorted.
This frees users from the hardware flow
control cable wiring problem.
USB Power Cord
If additional external power is required, TCC-80I
can be connected to a standard 5 to 12 VDC power
supply or the USB power cord CBL-USBAP-50.

Transio TCC-80I
First High-speed, Isolated, Self-powered
RS-232 to RS-422, 2-wire/4-wire, RS-485
Bi-directional Converter with 2.5 KV
Isolation and 15 KV ESD Surge
Protection.
Overview
The TCC-80I is the world’s first high-speed,
isolated, self-powered converter. It is powered via
the host’s RS-232 port and provides complete signal
conversion between RS-232 and RS-422/485
devices. The TCC-80I coverts back and forth
between RS-232’s TxD and RxD lines to either half
duplex 2-wire RS-485 or the balanced signal of full
duplex 4-wire RS-422/485. In addition, the
TCC-80I’s built-in 15 KV ESD surge protector
provides the output ports with comprehensive
protection against surges and spikes. Perhaps the
most important feature is the 2.5 KV isolation
designed to prevent ground loop currents, reduce
damage caused by data loss, and prevent damage to
the communication interfaces. The TCC-80I is also
designed to provide RS-485 auto data direction
control, in which the RS-485 driver is enabled
automatically when the circuitry senses the TxD
output from the RS-232 signal. Programming effort
is not required to control the transmission direction
of the half duplex RS-485 signal.
