USB-TO-RS232-485 User Guide

Overview

USB TO RS232/485 is a USB to RS232/485 non-isolated serial port converter, featuring the original FT232RNL chip for improved stability and compatibility. It comes with a built-in self-recovering fuse, TVS protection circuit, etc. USB TO RS232/485 offers simple operation, zero-delay automatic transmission and reception conversion, and boasts characteristics such as fast, stable, reliable and safe communication.

Features

  • Onboard Original FT232RNL chip. Fast communication, stable and reliable, better compatibility.
  • Onboard TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor), effectively suppresses surge voltage and transient spike voltage in the circuit, lightning-proof & anti-electrostatic.
  • Onboard self-recovery fuse and protection diodes, ensure the current/voltage stable outputs, provide over-current/over-voltage proof, and improve shockproof performance.
  • Onboard RS232/485 communication switching circuit, configured by switch.
  • Onboard 120R terminal resistor on the RS485 interface, enabled/disabled via switch.
  • 3x LEDs for indicating the power and transceiver status.
  • ABS case design, small in size, easy to use, portable and cost-effective.

Driver Installation

USB Driver Installation

  • Download the VCP Driver.
  • Double click on CDM212364_Setup.exe and install it.
  • Click on Extract, and then "NEXT".


  • Click on I accept this agreement, and then click on "NEXT", and click on "Finish".


  • After connecting the PC, you can see the usable COM port number in the device manager.


Hardware Test

Test environment: PC (Windows)
Required accessories:

  • USB TO RS232/485 x 2pcs
  • USB-A male-to-female cable x 1 (or directly connect to the USB port of the computer)
  • Wires

RS232 Test

  • Connect the RS232 interface of the USB TO RS232/485 module to the RS232 interface, that is, RXD and TXD are connected in a staggered manner, GND and GND are connected, and the toggle switch on top of the module is switched to RS232, and the connection diagram is referenced as follows:


  • Open two SSCOM windows and the corresponding COM port numbers.


  • Select the baud rate as 115200, input the characters to be sent, check show time and package, and click on Open COM:


  • Set the two SSCOM windows sending at 100ms intervals, and then you can see the 2 Windows send and receive data normally, the effect as shown below:


RS485 Test

  • Connect the RS485 connector of the USB TO RS232/485 module, that is, A+ --> A+, B- --> B-, GND --> GND, and switch the toggle switch on it to RS485, the connection diagram is referenced below:


  • Open two SSCOM windows on the PC and the corresponding COM ports:


  • Select the baud rate as 115200, input the characters to be sent, check show time and package, and Open COM.


  • Select one SSCOM, send it at 100ms intervals, and then you can the 2 Windows send and receive data as shown below:
