Introduction Introduction Overview The OMG-USB-SER-2 equips the PC with 2 USB to RS-232/422/485 Asynchronous serial ports providing a versatile interface for common serial needs. The advantage of this product over more traditional approaches is that it does not require opening the computer case, nor does it require resources such as I/O ports or IRQ’s. It does require a system that supports USB both in terms of hardware and operating system. What’s Included The OMG-USB-SER-2 is shi

Appendix C - Electrical Interface Appendix C - Electrical Interface RS-232 Quite possibly the most widely used communication standard is RS-232. This implementation has been defined and revised several times and is often referred to as RS-232 or EIA/TIA-232. The IBM PC computer defined the RS-232 port on a 9 pin D sub connector and subsequently the EIA/TIA approved this implementation as the EIA/TIA-574 standard. This standard is defined as the 9-Position Non-Synchronous Interface bet

Appendix C - Electrical Interface RS-485 RS-485 is backwardly compatible with RS-422; however, it is optimized for partyline or multi-drop applications. The output of the RS-422/485 driver is capable of being Active (enabled) or Tri-State (disabled). This capability allows multiple ports to be connected in a multi-drop bus and selectively polled. RS-485 allows cable lengths up to 4000 feet and data rates up to 10 Megabits per second. The signal levels for RS-485 are the same as those d
