INTRODUCTION
The USB-COMi PRO /USB-2COMi PRO is completely jumperless and free of DIP
switches, all configuration is done by software. Just press the button and use the
configuration program.
Serial ports on USB allow further use of existing devices, even when the computer
doesn’t offer serial ports. Now the USB-COMi PRO /USB-2COMi PRO is extremely
flexible in offered communication standards. Besides the classical RS232 and RS422 it
offers three variants of the RS485 operation. The often-required Termination and
Polarization (BIAS) is also provided by built-in hardware, and it is controlled by the
same configuration software. The driver allows to configure the serial ports for bitrates
of up to 3Mbit/s. In RS232 mode the bitrate is limited to 1 Mbit/s.
Plugging the USB-COMi PRO /USB-2COMi PRO to USB port, the adapter is
automatically detected and installed. There are no IRQ & COM port conflicts, since the
port does not require any additional IRQ, DMA, memory as resources on the system.
The RS-232/422/485 port functions as native Windows COM port, and it is compatible
with Windows serial communication applications.
The USB Industrial I/O Adapter provides instant connectivity to RS-232/422/485
communication device for factory automation equipment, multi-drop data collection
devices, barcode readers, time clocks, scales, data entry terminals, PC to PC long
distance communications and serial communication in harsh environments. The USB
Industrial I/O provides industrial solution for applications requiring single node or
multi-drop communications over short and long distance.
USB-COMi PRO /USB-2COMi PRO is an innovative USB to serial converter providing the
capability of serial devices networking and sharing across any network including
Ethernet, WAN, VLAN, VPN and the Internet. The serial devices connected to the
adapter can be conveniently shared and accessed over Ethernet by multiple remote
client computers.
