USB to RS-485 Converter
Build a RS-485 Network in minutes with this USB to RS-485 converter based on the FT232RL USB to Serial converter. This device includes USB Mini interface and USB cable. Four on-board screw terminals provide connection to a 3-wire RS-485 network. A fourth terminal provides a regulated 5VDC output for use in future expansion applications. While this device supports many baud rate options, we suggest using a baud rate that is compatible with our RS-485 nodes. Our suggested default baud rate of 9600 allows for greatest distance. NCD RS-485 nodes also support 19.2K, 38.4K, and 115.2K baud.
This device includes on-board USB, TX, and RX LEDs and Texas Instruments SN65HVD12D RS-485 driver chip.
RS-485 Serial Communications Node
Our RS-485 Serial Communications Module makes it easy to network up to 256 NCD devices together at distances up to 4,000 feet. Each RS-485 node includes 3 screw-terminals for a 3-wire connection to the RS-485 master.
