USB to RS485 Serial Converter Adapter, Bidirectional Half Duplex Communication Module

Serial to RS485 Converter with 1200 Metre Transmission Range This USB to RS485 serial converter provides reliable bidirectional communication over distances of up to 1200 metres, with support for baud rates as high as 921600. That is considerably faster than the standard 115200 rate, making it well suited to applications where both distance and speed matter. The converter operates in half duplex mode and is designed for straightforward integration into existing systems. Automatic Direction Control for Simple Setup The module automatically identifies and controls the data transmission direction, so there is no need for handshake signals such as RTS or DTR, and no jumper settings are required to achieve mode conversion. This means the converter works with your existing communication software and interface hardware without complicated configuration, saving time during installation and reducing the potential for setup errors. Broad System Compatibility with Hot Plug Support The converter supports hot plugging through its USB interface and is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows 7, Windows 10, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 2003, Windows 2008, Linux, OS X and CE. This makes it a versatile choice for users working across different platforms, allowing the same adapter to be moved between systems as needed. Industrial Grade Protection for Demanding Environments Built with industrial protection in mind, this converter includes TVS transient suppression, ESD protection and surge protection. The AB signal lines and power lines are also protected against short circuiting. These safeguards help maintain dependable operation in industrial settings where electrical interference and accidental faults are more likely.
