DATEL ICP232.2-5V-029.361114 – Compact 5 V RS‑232 Interface Module for Industrial Panels and Controllers

The DATEL ICP232.2-5V-029.361114 is a small RS‑232 interface module designed for equipment that still relies on reliable, wired serial links. From my experience, this kind of module is often used to bridge a controller or embedded board that runs on 5 V logic to a robust RS‑232 port for field devices, test jigs, or legacy HMIs. You might notice that the part code highlights the 5 V power requirement, which keeps integration simple inside tight control cabinets.

Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Delivery: typically 1 week if in stock; no more than one month at the latest
• Payment: 50% advance payment, full balance before delivery
• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• 5 VDC Supply – Runs from a standard regulated 5 V rail, which is common in PLC panels and embedded controllers.
• RS‑232 Level Interface – Provides classic RS‑232 signaling for connecting to scanners, printers, weigh scales, or maintenance laptops.
• Compact module design – Small footprint for easy drop‑in integration where DIN space or PCB real estate is limited.
• Noise‑resilient I/O – Uses industry‑standard transceiver topology; in many cases this improves tolerance to ESD and line noise compared with bare TTL wiring.
• Reliable link stability – Typically supports standard baud rates used in industrial equipment (e.g., 9.6–115.2 kbps), helping with mixed‑vendor compatibility.
• Simple wiring – TXD, RXD, and GND as the core pins; hardware handshaking (RTS/CTS) is commonly supported on similar modules when required.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

This model suits plants where RS‑232 links still run critical tasks. I typically see it used for:

• PLC and motion controller service ports for commissioning or firmware loading
• CNC, test benches, and metrology devices that output RS‑232 diagnostics
• Barcode readers, label printers, and weigh scales in production lines
• Legacy HMIs or operator panels that still require a stable COM port

A maintenance engineer shared that swapping to a 5 V module like this solved intermittent framing errors on a packaging line—mainly because the transceiver handled noisy cabling better than a direct TTL connection.

Advantages & Value

• Reliability – Purpose‑built RS‑232 level shifting tends to reduce communication faults compared with makeshift adapters.
• Compatibility – Works with standard serial tooling, making it easy to integrate across mixed equipment brands.
• Cost Efficiency – Keeps existing assets in service; avoiding a full controller upgrade often saves both time and budget.
• Support & Availability – 365‑day warranty and pragmatic delivery windows help de‑risk maintenance shutdowns.

Installation & Maintenance

• Power & Cabinet – Use a clean, regulated 5 VDC rail. Install inside a ventilated cabinet to avoid heat buildup from nearby drives.
• Wiring – Keep RS‑232 cable runs short where possible. Route away from VFD output cables to reduce noise coupling.
• Grounding & ESD – Bond shields at one end and follow site ESD practices when connecting/disconnecting.
• Commissioning – Match baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits with the connected device; 8‑N‑1 at 9.6–115.2 kbps is common.
• Routine checks – Periodically inspect connectors and cable strain relief; clean dust from enclosures; update related controller firmware when applicable.

Quality & Certifications

• Manufacturer quality systems typically aligned with ISO practices for industrial electronics
• CE and RoHS conformity are commonly available for comparable DATEL interface modules; certificate copies can be provided with the order
• Standard warranty: 365 days

Suggested Supporting Components

• Regulated 5 VDC power supply (industrial grade, low ripple)
• RS‑232 cable assemblies (DB9 male/female as required, shielded)
• Panel feed‑through DB9 adapter for clean cabinet wiring
• DIN‑rail mounting plate or carrier if the module is panel‑mounted

If you’re standardizing spares, this seems to be a practical pick for keeping RS‑232 links stable without complicating your 5 V power budget. Let me know your connector style and cable length, and we’ll match the right build and ship window.
