Introduction:This USB Serial Adapter is designed to make industrial communication port expansion quick and simple. Connecting to a USB port on your computer or USB hub, this USB Serial Adapter instantly adds a serial communication port to your system with easy plug-and-play and hot-plug features.
Plugging the USB Serial Adapter into the USB port, the adapter is automatically detected and installed. There is no IRQ & COM port conflicts, since the port doesn't require any additional IRQ, DMA or memory on the system. The RS-232 serial port functions as a native Windows COM port, and it is compatible with Windows serial communication applications. Each port is individually configurable.
This USB Serial Adapter provides instant connectivity to RS-232 communication devices for factory automation, multi-drop data collection devices, barcode readers, time clocks, scales, data entry terminals, ATMs and serial communications in harsh environments. This USB Serial Adapter is suitable for remote access, retail and industrial application, data collection and other applications requiring a high speed RS-232 communication port.
Optical Isolation & Surge Protection
Optical isolation and surge protection are supported by the USB-COM-SI-M.
The RS-232 port is optically isolated with 2000 volt DC optical isolation. The optical isolation protects your PC or notebook from spikes and surges on the RS-422/485 network by converting the electrical pulse into an optical signal and then changing it back to an electrical pulse. Your computer is well protected, since the surges and spikes cannot cross the optical link.
The RS-232 port is protected by a surge protector to withstand electrostatic discharges and power surges up to 25KV ESD. Surge suppression on all signals prevents damage caused by lightning or high voltages.
