The Model 8020-38 Addressable Bus Converter provides the means to interface GEOKON Addressable Sensor Strings with a variety of systems, including personal computers, programmable logic controllers and dataloggers.

The Addressable Bus Converter acts as a bridge between USB- or TTL-capable readers and GEOKON RS-485-enabled sensor strings. The Model 8020-38 is placed in-line with the system and provides bidirectional signal conversion between USB and RS-485 or between TTL and RS-485.

Communication is performed over a half-duplex RS-485 connection using the Modbus® RTU protocol. The Model 8020-38 has user-resettable baud rates between 9600 bits per second and 115.2 kilobits per second (the default factory setting).
