Portable
Converter with USB-to-RS-232 adapter for Mobile Applications |
Advantech
has announced the coming release of ADAM-4562, which is a
one-port Isolated USB to RS-232 Converter. The new converter
improves over its predecessor ADAM-4561 with capability to
use 9-wire RS-232 and get its power from the USB port. With
9-wire RS-232 capability, this converter meets the requirements
of PLCs, modems, and controller equipment.
The major feature of ADAM-4562 is its capability to use 9-wire
RS-232. This feature supports not only data transfers, but
also handshake functions with data and status checking. Equipped
with a 9-wire RS-232, ADAM-4562 can communicate with field
equipment such as PLCs, modems, and controllers.
ADAM-4562's
main function is as a USB-to-serial converter. Because there
are no RS-232 ports supported in many new laptops, USB has
become a popular alternative. Its Plug & Play support
and hot-swappable functions simplify the configuration process,
and it also acts as a power supply for the module. It is no
longer necessary to have an external power supply.
Furthermore,
the new ADAM-4562 supports isolation protection up to 2,500VDC.
Although commercial USB-to-serial converters are available
in the market, it is advisable to use a protected converter
for industrial use so that surges and transients do not damage
your linked computer.
Its
portable design with Plug & Play functionality provides
a perfect solution for mobile applications such as field maintenance.
ADAM-4562 is available for ordering now.
