Description
Our range of USB to RS485 Converters comprises of two types–one where the two wire RS485 connections are electrically connected to the USB interface (non-isolated) and the other which have galvanic isolation (5kV) between the USB interface and the RS485 interface (isolated). The isolated type can operate at a maximum speed of 3Mbps.
The non-isolated USB to RS485 converter is ideal for most applications and environments such as office, laboratory, server rooms and non-commercial environments. We recommend the isolated version for industrial and factory environments where one cannot take the chance of either damaging the PC or damaging the equipment which you are connecting to.
Drivers for our USB to RS485 converters are available for most versions of Windows including Windows 8 and the latest Windows Server version. Linux and Android drivers are also available. Once the drivers have been installed and the converter is connected to your computer's USB port, a virtual COM port will be created.
