This industrial USB to serial adapter hub is designed for use in demanding environments where reliable connectivity is essential. It provides eight RS-232/422/485 serial ports and one USB 2.0 port, allowing users to connect multiple serial devices to a single USB port on their computer or industrial equipment. The device is built with a rugged metal housing and features IP30 protection, making it suitable for use in environments with dust and other contaminants.
The hub supports baud rates up to 921.6Kbps, ensuring fast and efficient data transfer for applications such as industrial automation, data acquisition, and control systems. Each serial port can be individually configured to operate in RS232, RS422, or RS485 mode, with options for 2-wire or 4-wire configurations. This flexibility allows the hub to be used with a wide range of serial devices, including barcode scanners, sensors, and industrial controllers.
The device includes mounting options for secure installation in various environments. It can be mounted on a desk, wall, or DIN rail using the built-in mounting ears and included DIN brackets. A 6-foot screw-locking USB cable is included for reliable connections. The hub can be powered via a 12V screw-locking power adapter or through a 5V USB input, with each serial port's voltage (5V, 12V, or 0V) configurable based on the power source used.
The hub is compatible with modern and legacy operating systems such as Windows, Linux, macOS, and embedded platforms. This ensures that it can be integrated into a variety of industrial setups without requiring significant changes to existing systems. The inclusion of 15kV ESD protection helps safeguard against electrical surges that can occur in industrial environments.
The ICUSB234858I is ideal for applications where multiple serial devices need to be connected simultaneously, such as in manufacturing plants or data centers. Its robust design and flexible configuration options make it a reliable solution for mission-critical operations where downtime must be minimized.
