– ‘RS232 to Bluetooth’ and ‘Bluetooth to RS232’ Converter
– Serial Communication speed: Up to 230.4kbps
– Distance: Max. 100m
– Bluetooth Specification: v.2.0 + EDR
– Power: 9~12V, 500mA
WCS-232 converts RS232 signals to Bluetooth. If both ends of devices use WCS-232, wireless 1:1 data communication is available. The compact design allows it to be easily connected to a PC, laptop, PDA or other devices and is fully compatible with the serial COM ports in the PC.
Enhanced Communication Distance
The Bluetooth is an industry standard for short-range wireless communication for personal use. At the time when it was first developed, the distance was approximately 10m. However, using the Bluetooth connection to a variety of devices based on the communication range is classified into three kinds of class. The Class 1 is to have the communication distance of up to 100m , Class 2 is 30m, Class 3 supports the communication distance up to 10m. The WCS-232 is a Bluetooth Class 1 device. It will operate in a factories and the communication is possible without the constraints of distance.
Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR
‘EDR’ stands for ‘Enhanced Data Rate’. THE EDR allows fast data transfer technology in Bluetooth communication. Bluetooth is initially developed to support the communication speed up to 1Mbps, but when EDR function is used, the maximum communication speed is increased up to 3Mbps.
