DTECH USB to Serial RS422 RS485 Adapter with FTDI Chip Supports Windows 10 8 7 XP Mac (1.2m)

I required a full duplex USB to RS-422 converter on an urgent basis to communicate with a gas metering system; this was delivered next day, included all necessary drivers and worked perfectly, allowing us to keep our project running to schedule.

Needed and RS-422 to test serial data to a radar system. This plugged into the laptop, drivers loaded automatically and worked straight away. Very happy with how it works and its price.

Good for what I want to do

A neat little device based on the industry lead brand of FTDI’s chipset, ensuring operating system support from early versions of Windows, to Linux and MacOS most having support built in for the chipset in this unit. A breakout adapter board enables easy connection to RS422 & RS485 interfaces, with clear illustrations for connection to single point connection and for multipoint (networked) connections, each in either half or full duplex. The breakout adapter enables you to perform quick connection to the data I/O without soldering DB9 connectors just to ensure a connection is operational. You can of course replace the adapter for an enclosed DB9 connector in the future to ensure your project is secure and looks professional. Any standard communication software (terminal emulator) can be used to read/write to the port, in many cases bespoke software can also use FTDI chipset to ensure a stable connection is available. The product ships with a fully enclosed controller and various cable lengths making it ideal for mobile, as well as static configurations.

I bought this to connect up to my Aurora solar inverter. Having the little module separate was helpful because my inverter had similar, so I wired the two together with a bit of old Cat5e network cable. The serial adapter itself “just worked” on Linux and the third-party utility I downloaded was able to grab the data flawlessly.

Ok

Have it working with Baud rates up to 1MBaud with no issues on and RS485 bus. This is all it needs to do and it does it well. Windows 10 drivers just install automatically.
