Introduction
The TLC**5 is a bi-directional port-powered RS**2 to RS**5
converter. It can convert any standard full duplex RS**2C port to
any two-wire balanced half duplex RS**5 port. In simple terms, it
will convert any RS**2 signal to a RS**5 signal and vice versa. The
unit is powered from the RS**2 data lines. It also supports data
direction auto-turnaround. Therefore, no external power or flow
control is required. The data direction auto-turnaround
automatically enables the RS**5 driver when data is present on the
RS**2 side making the device plug-and-play, requiring no software
drivers.
