Allowing your laptop or office PC to talk with remote devices up to
1.2km away in full duplex mode, in order to:
- Check production status
- Control machinery
- Gather statistics
- Modify programs remotely
- Control industrial networks
- Extend your RS232 serial port
- Control remote instrument

Some Benefits of the Control-it™5006 Converter:
Saves Time:
- Requires no technical set-up procedures
- Plugs straight into your PC serial port (DB9)
- Standard RS232 software needs no modification to run a RS422
link point to point
High Performance:
- Guaranteed to work over a data range of 300 to 115200 bps
- Communication distance of up to 1.2km (4000 feet)
- Uses the same proven technology as our popular Control-it™ 5001 unit
Versatile:
- Small size, light-weight unit
- The Control-it™ 5006 works with any terminal software
- Transmission flow is automatic with the Control-it™ 5006. See
overleaf.
Easy to Install:
- Plugs directly into your PC serial port
- RS232 side is supplied with a 500mm lead and a 9way female
connector
- Screw terminal connector with strain relief for RS422
- Transmit (TXD), receive (RXD) and Ready To Send (RTS) indicators
show data flow
- Ready To Send (RTS) indicators show data flow (5005 only)
Safe:
- Full optical isolation protects your computer from power spikes
- Robust, sealed plastic unit.

The Control-it™ 5006 is recommended for multidrop networks if
the RTS signal is not controllable. The transmitter is only active while
data is being transmitted. Recommended if Windows based software is used.
The following screen shots compare a character sent at 9600 bps, showing
a conventional automatic converter versus the Control-it™ 5006.
To the left of point 'A', the RS422 line is floating and available to
any unit on the line.
Between points 'B' and 'C' the line is being held without any transmission
taking place. This represents wasted time as no other unit can transmit
without data being lost.
The Control-it™ 5006 reduces this wasted time.
