CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW

2.1 INTRODUCTION

The USB to Serial Adapters are cables with a USB connector on one end and a serial connector on the other. They each use a special FTDI chip to convert a USB interface to an RS-232/422/485 serial interface over a distance of five or six feet, depending on the model.

The adapters support common Windows

Three models are available:

• IC1101A: USB to Serial Adapter USB A/M to RJ-45M, 6-ft.

• IC1102A: USB to Serial Adapter USB C/M to RJ-45M, 6-ft.

• IC1103A: USB to Serial Adapter USB C/M to DB9M, 5-ft.

2.2 FEATURES

 Single FTDI chip USB to asynchronous serial data transfer interface

 Entire USB protocol is handled on the chip. No USB specific firmware programming required

 Fully integrated 1024 bit EEPROM storing device descriptors and CBUS I/O configuration

 Fully integrated USB termination resistors

 Data transfer rates from 300 baud to 3 Mbaud (RS-422, RS-485, RS-232) at TTL levels

 128-byte receive buffer and 256-byte transmit buffer using buffer smoothing technology to allow for high data throughput

 UART interface support for 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits and odd/even/mark/space/no parity

 Supports bus powered, self-powered and high-power bus powered USB configurations

 Low USB bandwidth consumption

3.2 SERIAL COMMUNICATION SETTING

After installing, you can set the serial port according to your requirement for serial communication. Make sure that the setting is correct and matches, otherwise, the computer and devices will not work correctly. For example, for some industrial equipment that supports the application software, you need to specify the corresponding port for communication. Please refer to the illustration below (right-click on “USB Serial Port [COM]”).

A.1 FCC CL ASS A STATEMENT

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio communication. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par Industrie Canada.

A.2 CE AND ROHS2

This product complies with CE and ROHS2 certifications.
