  The 80XX Series Modules are designed for RS-485 communication. Since most PCs have RS-232 ports, not RS-485 ports, it is necessary to have a converter between the PC and the 80XX Modules converting RS-232 to RS-485 and visa versa. The 8520 performs these conversion functions.
A single 8520 can link 256 individual 80XX series modules in a single RS-485 network. If a repeater is used, up to 2,048 modules may be linked using a single converter. Each of the up to 2,048 modules can be accepting data from a different type of device with a unique data baud rate and data format. A standard converter would be unable to accommodate such a wide range of differences in format and baud rate. However, the 8520 contains an innovative patent pending "Self Tuner"- ASIC. This chip can adjust the data baud rate and data format automatically throughout the entire network. Therefore, a single 8520 can link up to 2,048 different devices in the same network easily. Further, as all adjustments are performed automatically, there is no need for DIP switch settings, and the module's plastic case need never be opened.
