# Does Balluff have a RS232 serial port converter?

## RS232, IO-Link

Balluff offers the BNI00C1, which is an IO-LINK converter for RS232 devices.

It is the simple and practical solution for connecting RS232 with IO-Link. ![1](https://kb.innovatingautomation.asia/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Simplified%20Chinese/Image/RS232%E8%BD%AC%E6%8D%A2%E5%99%A8/1.png?width=413&name=1.png)  
The serial RS232 communication is still used in many industrial applications. A typical example is the use of barcode scanners in the automobile or packaging industry. 

Integrating RS232 interfaces into the existing control architecture is, however, often expensive and time-consuming because special components are often necessary, such as RS232 cards for the controller. This represents an obstacle for many in switching to IO-Link, with the result that they are unable to consistently take advantage of the benefits of this modern communication standard.![3](https://kb.innovatingautomation.asia/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Simplified%20Chinese/Image/RS232%E8%BD%AC%E6%8D%A2%E5%99%A8/3.png?width=395&name=3.png)

The converters allow you to directly connect RS232 devices to an IO-Link terminal. No RS232 cards are necessary for the integration.

Now you have a practical and simple way to implement a solution for uniform and comprehensive communication with all devices and bi-directional data transfer with the controller. And even more: you can reliably monitor all the devices from a central location and configure them quickly and easily.

**Features**  
■ For bi-directional communication between RS232 and IO-Link  
■ Two digital inputs  
■ RS232 devices powered with 24 V DC  
■ Easy diagnostics capabilities with status LEDs  
■ High-quality, rugged IP67 stainless steel housing for strict requirements
