Overview:

Bluetooth Wireless Technology® cable replacement applications are limitless and the blu2i Universal RS-232 Adaptor is the simplest method of upgrading any host with an RS-232 interface to create a unique solution.

With excellent ranges over 200m the blu2i Universal RS-232 Adaptor can connect to any application currently using a standard RS-232 connection. No changes to existing systems are needed and no software is required.

The blu2i Universal RS-232 Adaptor can be easily installed with access to the GPIO, power and RS-232 connections and commissioned using the configuration utilities.

The digital GPIO lines, controlled from S registers, have an additional feature that the GPIO status can be made available as part of the Bluetooth device class in inquiry responses. Now there is no need to connect to the device, simply perform a Bluetooth Service discovery to obtain the real time GPIO status.

Key Benefits:

  • fastest time to market
  • no host stack required
  • encrypted data
  • fully approved
  • ideal for embedded systems
  • lowest cost ownership

Target application areas:

  • cable replacement
  • retail
  • monitoring and diagnostics
  • healthcare
  • automotive
  • logistics
