Converter

The USB-i485 converter is the fast, safe solution for interfacing a PC with RS485 or RS422 industrial communication networks. When the USB-i485 is connected to a PC’s USB port, it is automatically detected and installed as a native COM port, compatible with any existing serial communication application.

Multiple converters can be installed using USB hubs, making it easy to set up a multi-serial system with no need for IRQ or DMA settings. The 1500 Vdc isolation between the USB and RS485/RS422 ports protects the computer from surges and wiring errors on the communication network.
