Many POS terminals, remote sensing, industrial control LANs, time-keeping, door access, HVAC, building automation systems, security systems and other equipments uses the industry proven RS232, RS422 and RS485 cabling for their control and data transfer to and from their host control terminals or host computers. In non-EMI sensitive applications, the new class of wireless adapters developed by Golf Electronics Corporation provides the necessary connectivity without the need for laying new cable harnesses which often times presents major problems in mobility, relocation and expansion. Though most commercial and industrial establishments today have provisions for auxiliary electronics and communications systems upon their construction, usually leased spaces still present some structural limitations preventing relocation and expansion of equipment and systems which use the RS232, RS422 and RS485 standards for their interface.

Employing the “Plug and Pair” technology which allows seamless wireless connectivity between multiple HID's, the same wireless technology is now available for RS232, RS422 and RS485 cabled or wired equipments easily converting them to wireless for their data communication in industrial applications. Another advantage is its multi-channel capability without the crosstalk between channels or interference.

These new class of wireless adapters operates in the 2.4 Ghz ISM band using advanced spread-spectrum RF technology guaranteeing interference free and faithful co-existence with WiFi and other wireless systems. They are available as plastic molded adapters with a DB9 connector, or in module form or as an OEM / ODM service by Golf Electronics for manufacturers or systems integrators who may want to include the circuit on the equipment PCB by providing them technical support and consultancy for a reasonable cost.

The RS232 wireless adapter supports common baud rates of 300 baud to 230K baud. The RS422 / RS485 wireless adapter supports 115kbps, 500kbps up to 2Mbps data rates. Communications can be configured for half duplex or full duplex applications. Baud rates can also be configured to suit the particular requirement or application the same as in wired systems. On the host side, the default master adapter is a USB dongle which connects to three wireless serial channels and two human interface devices such as a wireless keyboard and mouse. However, OEM's or ODM's can opt to use RS232, RS422 and RS485 specially for existing industrial terminals or control panels.
