Introduction
This is an industrial USB to RS485 converter with original FT232RL inside. It features embedded protection circuits such as lightning-proof, resettable fuse, ESD protection, and TVS diode, etc. It's pretty small in size.
Features
- USB to RS485 communication
- Adopt original FT232RL, fast communicating, stable and reliable, better compatibility
- Onboard TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor), effectively suppress surge voltage and transient spike voltage in the circuit, lightning-proof & anti-electrostatic
- Onboard self-recovery fuse and protection diodes, ensures the current/voltage stable outputs, provides over-current/over-voltage proof, improves shock resistance
- 3 LEDs for indicating the power and transceiver status

User guide
Driver installation
- Connect the module to host PC, check Device Manager, if the device is listed with the yellow exclamation mark, it means that the driver was not installed.
- Download the driver form #Resources, unzip, and install it.
- After installing, you can find that the mark disappeared and a COM device is listed
Testing
- RS485
- You should prepare two RS485 device
- Connect A+ to A+, B- to B-, and connect them to host PC.
- Run SSCOM software to test.
- Expected result
