PS2PRO-xxx by Versalent Home A small low-cost module to convert a PC wired or wireless keyboard (PS2 and most USB) to an RS232 serial keyboard. PS2PRO removes the real-time response requirement imposed by the PC keyboard protocol and translates the complex keycode sequences into the simple ASCII (serial) characters printed on the keyboard keys. PRO models include user programmability (with non-volatile storage) for up to 16 keys which can output custom characters or strings as needed by the user's application. Embedded systems no longer require expensive hand-held terminals with reduced-size keyboards. This device accepts a PS2 connector from the keyboard or wireless receiver and provides a standard DB9 RS-232 output to connect to your asynchronous serial port at baud rates from 2400 to 115k. Keyboard power is supplied through PS2PRO's keyboard connector. The PS2PRO can be powered by supplying +5VDC, or +6 to +12VDC through the DB9 connector. Or can be powered by the optional 6V wall adapter (purchased separately). Parity and baud rates are user configured internally. Can be ordered in DCE or DTE NOTE: When selecting a model, consider that in order to program the PS2PRO it must be plugged into a PC COM port which cannot supply power to the PS2PRO. For models -014,-016,-034,-036 which offer no AC Adapter input you must 'tap' the DB9<->DB9 cable to apply 5V power to Pin 4 (-014/034) or Pin 6 (-016/036) ... or purchase a PS2PRO model which accepts AC Adapter power. See model table below. For programmable wireless keyboard version see WLKB232 model PS2 Facts/Info Typical Application Manual Default Key-Outputs |
