INTRODUCTION
USB-i485 USB-i485 The module is a cost-effective way to convert RS485 or RS422 industrial buses to a USB interface.
When connected to a PC USB port the module is automatically detected and is installed as a native COM port which is compatible with any existing serial communication application.
Multiple modules can be installed when using USB hubs thus allowing a hassle-free configuration of a multi serial system without any IRQ or DMA configuration.
1500 Vdc isolation between the USB port and RS485/RS422 protects the PC from spykes or possible misconnections in the communication bus.
The converter can be configured for four-wire (Full Duplex) RS422 and RS485 or two-wire (Half Duplex) networks.
When operating in two-wire RS485 the data transfer control is automatically done by the converter.
Two independent and isolated RS485 networks can be supported by one module thus duplicating the possible number of remote devices.
