How to connect USB to RS485?

How to connect USB to RS485?

Just plug the converter into an available USB port on your computer or USB hub and install the drivers (supplied on CD-ROM). Universal Serial Bus (USB) has become the connectivity workhorse of today’s PCs, replacing the familiar serial ports.

What is USB to RS485?

The USB-RS485 cable is a USB to RS485 levels serial UART converter cable incorporating FTDI‟s FT232RQ USB to serial UART interface IC device which handles all the USB signalling and protocols. The cable provides a fast, simple way to connect devices with a RS485 interface to USB.

What is the difference between rs422 and RS485?

RS-422 can work and receive with full-duplex operation through two pairs of twisted pairs. RS485 can only work half-duplex and cannot perform transmission and reception simultaneously, but it only needs one couple of twisted pairs.

Can I use CAT5 for RS485?

If using a CAT5 cable, you may use a signal pair for RS-485 signals and another pair for ground wiring.

What is the RS485 pin configuration for DB 25?

RS485 pin configuration for DB 25 Figure 3 is an RS485 wiring diagram for RS485 pinout DB9 connectors. Figure 4 is a pin diagram for both 25 pin RS485 pinout half duplex and full duplex pinout connectors. The TxD+ and TxD- lines carry transmit data while the RxD+ and RxD- contain the receive data.

What is RS485 and where is it used?

RS485 is primarily used in multi-drop configurations that make use of its balanced differential interface. Figures 3 and 4 show an RS485 pinout diagrams for 9 pin DB9 and 25 pin DB25 connectors

What is CD and RXD in RS485?

RS485 pinout Carrier Detect (CD) this control signal is used when a modem informs a computer that it has detected a carrier that the computer can use for data transmission. Receive Data (RXD) this line is used for data transmission between two sources. An example is data received from a modem transferred to a computer.

What are the RS485 termination resistors?

The RS485 employs a set of 120 Ohm termination resistors located at each end of the line. This is necessary to allow long-distance data transmission. A description of the RS485 technical specifications is provided in the following table.
