RND 405-00002
Overview
With the continuous development of PC industry, USB interface is gradually
replacing various low-speed peripheral interfaces of old PC, however, many
important devices in industrial environment still use RS-232/485/422 interface
design, so many users use USB to RS-232/485/422 converter to achieve PC and
RS-232/485/422 devices data transfer between PC and RS-232/485/422 devices.
The RND 405-00002 is a universal USB/RS-232/485/422 converter with no external
power supply, zero latency automatic transceiver conversion, unique I/O
circuitry to automatically control the direction of data flow, and plug-and-
play operation. It is suitable for all existing communication software and
interface hardware.
RND 405-00002 interface converter can be point to point, data communication
rate 300-921600bps, with power indicator and data flow indicator can indicate
the failure situation, support the communication mode of USB to RS-232/485/422
conversion.
Major Functions & Features
The RND 405-00002 interface converter supports the following 4 communication methods.
- Point to point/four-wire full duplex
- Point to multi-point/four-wire full duplex
- Point to point/two-wire half-duplex
- Point to multi-point/two-wire half-duplex
When the converter is wired as full-duplex or half-duplex, a matching resistor (120 ohm 1/4W) should be connected at the terminal of the line to prevent signal eflection and interference.
Hardware installation and application
Before installing RND 405-00002 interface converter, please read the product manual carefully, and connect the communication cable provided with the product to the USB interface end. This product adopts USB/DB-9, universal connector as input/output interface, which automatically realizes RS-232, RS-485 or RS-422 communication mode without jumper setting, and can use twisted pair or shielded cable, which is very convenient to connect and disassemble. T/R+T/R- represents transmitting, receiving A+/B-,RXD+/RXD- represents receiving A+/B-, GND represents common ground, point-to-point, full-duplex communication connects seven wires RXD, TXD, DTR, GND, DSR, RTS, CTS; point-to-point, point to multi-point, half-duplex communication connects two wires T/R+, T/R-;point-to-point, point to multi-point, full-duplex Communication connects four wires T/R+, T/R-, RXD+, RXD-.
