  • Data transfer speeds up to 3Mbps asynchronous

USB-485-IND

  • Supports multi-drop (2-wire, half-duplex) RS-485 protocol
  • Data transfer speeds up to 3Mbps asynchronous

USB-422-485-IND

  • Supports 4-wire RS-485 protocol
  • Data transfer speeds up to 3Mbps asynchronous
  • Pinout compatible with legacy model USB-485

FACTORY OPTIONS

  • Halogen free flame retardant (HFFR) cable

The USB to serial IND series are rugged, industrial, serial communications adapters designed for use in demanding real-world applications such as transportation, military, embedded control systems, remote data acquisition, mobile, and more. These intelligent modules provides a cost-effective solution for transferring high-speed asynchronous serial data over USB. Use legacy serial devices with any PC or embedded system with a USB port. The adapters provide easy connectivity between the computer and standard communication ports or remote serial devices. No PC reconfiguration, assignment of IRQs, or jumper settings required. The adapter will be recognized as a USB to Serial Adapter and install in the system as a standard COM port.

Accessories

The ADAP9 accessory provides a screw terminal connection to break out the RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 signals on the DB9M connector.

Need more isolation?

Isolate your I/O with our USB-ISOLATOR accessory! Tru-Iso™ signal isolation up to 4kV meets EN60601 standards in a rugged industrial-grade, extended temp (-40 to +85°C) package — no connection to power needed! Use with our 1-foot USB cable and avoid tangles. OEM-version available, featuring picoblade microfit headers for hassle-free embedded cabling.

Connections to System

The USB serial converter is equipped with a 6 foot, fully shielded USB cable, a USB type A connector for connection to a computer USB port, and a male DB-9 for connection to a RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 equipped data or communication terminal.

SOFTWARE

The USB serial converter installs into any operating system as a standard serial COM device, allowing all 3rd party software to operate the serial port as usual. Samples in a variety of languages and environments are provided, including a Windows utility "WinRISC", a "Really Incredibly Simple Communications" terminal program. Drivers are provided for Windows (including Windows CE) and Linux, and are available at no cost for most other operating systems.
