This model, USB-COM422-Plus1, provides a simple method of adapting legacy serial devices with RS422 interfaces to modern USB ports. This is accomplished by incorporating the industry standard FTDI FT232R USB-Serial bridge chip. The integrated electronics of the USB-COM422-PLUS1 utilise the FTDI FT232R and includes RS422 level shifters plus TXD/RXD LEDs to provide a visual indication of data traffic through the module. Figure 1.1 USB-COM422-Plus1 The module uses a standard USB-B device connector for connection to an upstream host or hub port. RS422-level signals, including modem handshake signals, are available on an industry-standard DE-9P connector. The maximum RS422-level data rate is 3Mbps. The USB-COM422-Plus1 module requires USB device drivers, available free from www.ftdichip.com, which are used to make the USB-COM422-Plus1 appear as a Virtual COM Port (VCP). This allows existing serial communications software, such as HyperTerminal, to exchange data through the USB-COM422-Plus1 to a legacy RS422 peripheral device.

The maximum cable length is 5 meters, according to the USB 2.0 specification. FTDI FT232R The FTDI FT232R provides the USB-to-Serial conversion. Operating system device drivers are required in order to work with the FT232R to provide the Virtual COM Port serial functionality. RS422 Level Shifter The RS422 level shifter converts the signals provided by the FT232R into the voltage levels required by RS422 devices. DE-9P Connector (Male) The DE-9P connector is configured in an industry standard (TIA/EIA-574) pin-out to provide connection to RS422 peripherals through standard cables.

NOTE: This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 7.2 Safety The USB-COM422-Plus1 is defined as Limited Power Supply (LPS) device, with operating voltages under 60VDC. 7.3 Environmental The USB-COM422-Plus1 is a lead-free device that complies with the following environmental directives: RoHS, WEEE, REACH, PFOS and DecaBDE. 7.4 Reliability The USB-COM422-Plus1 is designed as a robust USB-Serial module for use in many environments.

Check the following: - USB cable is properly inserted at both ends - Computer power is ON - Computer is not in Sleep or Standby - If a USB Hub is used, be sure it is set for “Self-Powered” operation - If a USB Hub is used, be sure all cables are properly inserted - If all the above are OK, the Yellow LED should be lit, indicating the device has been recognized by the USB subsystem. RS422 cables – check the following: - Output signals (TXD+, TXD-, RTS+, RTS-) are connected to the respective inputs (RXD+, RXD-, CTS+, CTS-) in each direction. - Check for specific handshake requirements of your RS422 peripheral. - If handshake signals are not used, ensure the application is set to “No Hardware Handshake”, or equivalent. - Test the port with a loop-back connector. Connect TXD+ to RXD+, TXD- to RXD-, RTS+ to CTS+ and RTS- to CTS-. Use a simple terminal program to check that data is transmitted and received. 8.2 Device Driver Ensure the latest device driver is in use. See www.ftdichip.com If other devices with FTDI chips are installed in the system, check with all manufacturers of these devices for the latest device drivers. See the FTDI installation guides for additional details: http://ftdichip.com/Documents/InstallGuides.htm Common Windows Device Driver Troubles: DEVICE TIMES OUT: The default settings of the device driver assume typical data transfers of hundreds to thousands or more bytes at a given time. Some applications, such as a GPS device, only send data in short packets, often only a few bytes. If this is the case, it may be necessary to adjust the driver buffer size and/or latency timer to smaller values. These values can be adjusted through the Advanced driver options as noted in Figure 2.13. The buffer size can be reduced to 64 bytes. The latency timer can be set as low as 2ms. A setting of 1ms will cause unnecessary USB traffic and could adversely affect data transmission. ERRATIC MOUSE POINTER: The device driver defaults to query an attached device to find out whether it is a mouse or modem, consistent with native COM port operation. Some RS422 peripherals constantly send short packets of data, causing the host system to “think” a mouse or modem has been attached. These short packets will interfere with normal mouse operation causing the pointer to jump around the screen. If this happens, disconnect the RS422 device and uncheck the Serial Enumerator option, also found on the Advanced driver options screen in Figure 2.13. COM PORT IN USE: Windows keeps track of all COM port assignments. If multiple FTDIChip products have been connected to a single system, the COM port number will increase, even if the other devices are not attached. If the higher COM port assignments are not acceptable for the application, known unused COM port numbers should be uninstalled according to the FTDI installation guide: http://ftdichip.com/Documents/InstallGuides.htm.
