Squires Engineering was contracted to design and build a custom serial convertor. The RS Serial Adapter is an interface that allows a device with an EIA-232 serial port to connect to an Aqualink® RS system for the purposes of obtaining status and performing limited control operations. The microprocessor within the RS Serial Adapter translates simple ASCII commands received over the EIA-232 link into the protocol used by the Aqualink® RS Power Center and its connected devices. Conversely, responses from the Power Center are translated back into a simplified ASCII format and transmitted over the EIA-232 link. Power for the adapter is supplied by the Power Center on the same cable as its EIA-485 communication link.
