Common features

Isolation + Protected

No more undefinable breakdowns when connecting RS232 or RS422/485 devices. All converters are full isolated on the USB side, short-circuit proof and protected against ESD with ±15 kV.

Adaptable baud rates

New FTDI chip generation allows also the adjustment of non standard baudrates and selected driver components provide best transmission properties.

LED Status indicator

Display of the device status and (field)bus communication via multi-functional LED(s). Direct control of the data stream, easy check for correct connection and activation.

COM Port compatible

Full PC compatibiliy by transparent access via virtual COM port, for instance COMx (Windows) resp. /dev/ttyUSBx (Linux).

What type suits you best

USB to Isolated RS232

ISO232C - 1 Mbps with active outputs

High isolating strength for safe connection of potential shifted devices. Active RS232 outputs by integrated energy transfer. No additional power supply necessary.

USB to Isolated RS485

ISO485 - Universal and safe

A lot of setup possibilities cover a wide range of RS422/RS485 bus applications. By their high isolating capability they are usable in critical environments with potential shift.

RS422/485 with 3Mbps

ISO485-BOX - The specialist

Combines various adaptions to all bus working modes, switchable termination and rest level bias resistors and data rate up to 3 MBaud recommend with high isolation strength.
