The USB-8COMi-RM 8 Port USB to RS-232/422/485 Serial Adapter is designed to make serial port expansion for industrial applications convienent and fast. Whether it’s connecting to a computer’s host USB port or USB hub, the 8 Port USB Serial Adapter instantly Adds eight RS-232, or RS-422, or RS-485 serial communication ports to your system using Plug-and-Play technology.
By connecting the 8 Port USB Serial Adapter to your computer, the adapter is automatically detected and installed with no IRQ & COM port conflicts or configuration since the ports do not require any additional IRQ, DMA, memory. The adapter is self-powered, and has built-in switching power supply of 100V/240V (input) inside the chassis.
The USB-8COMi-RM serial adapter is designed with 8 external 4-pin dip switches to independently set RS-232, RS-422or RS-485 mode conveniently, without the need to open the metal chassis. The adapter is with DIN rail bracket for industrial application environments and can be also mounted to a 19 rack, the rack mount kits are included with the adapter.
Termination and biasing option are available for data transmission lines. The USB-to-Octal RS-232/422/485 Adapter provides instant connectivity to RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 communication devices for POS, factory automation equipment, multi-drop data collection devices, bar code readers, time clocks, scales, data entry terminals, PC to PC long distance communications, ATMs and serial communication in harsh environments.
The USB-8COMi-RM USB to Industrial I/O provides industrial solution requiring single node or multi-drop communications over short and long distance.
