USB to RS485 Serial Converter

U-485: USB to RS485 Serial Port Converter. The new U-485 is a USB-to RS485 converter that converts the PC s USB port directly to a two-wire RS485 interface.

U-485:  USB to RS485 Serial Port Converter

The new U-485 is a USB-to

RS485 converter that converts the PC s USB port directly to a two-wire RS485 interface.

The converter is powered directly by the USB port and hence minimal wiring is required to

connect your PC to any devices that has two-wire RS485 interface e.g. All TRiLOGI brand

of PLCs have at least 1 built-in RS485 port and on Nano-10 that s its only serial port.

With U-485 you can use the i-TRiLOGI

TLServer software to program a network of M-series, F-series and/or Nano-10 PLCs from a

single PC. U-485 is also a great tool for trouble-shooting RS485 communication issues

between devices.

Notes:

1 For users whose PC already has a

built-in RS232 port or USB-RS232 converter, another option is

to use the Auto485 converter to convert the RS232 port into an

RS485 port. However, since Auto485 is not port powered, it may be less convenient to use

than the U-485 converter for programming purpose.

2 This converter is only used for

converting a PC s USB port to RS485. It DOES NOT

CONVERT a PLC s RS485 INTO a USB HOST port for connecting to say a mouse or a

serial printer. USB to RS485 conversion is not a simple electrical interface changeover

and therefore it is NOT possible for the PLC to interface to those

standard USB peripherals such as a keyboard, a mouse or a USB Flash Drive.

rs485 software driver

Sale: Was 145 now just 50.

Read and control devices which connect to the PC s COM or Ethernet port and communicate over TCP/IP, RS232, RS422, RS485 or Modbus. These include such diverse equipment as electronic balances used in a laboratory, GPS receivers used in the field and data loggers used in process plant.

For just 50 you get logging, charting, display, analogue and digital control software applications, the universal serial driver and com port trouble-shooting software. You can also use other Windows software, like Excel or Access, to display and analyse the data in real-time.FeaturesConnect up to 10 devices, cables or networks so 10 RS232 or many RS422, RS485, Modbus and TCP/IP devices Log data: temperature, strain, pressure, position, voltage, current, flow, humidity, rainfall, concentration, weight, etcEach reading time-stampedChart data in real-timeSwitch digital outputsControl analogue outputsAlarm indication on all inputsData saved in text files - eg in csv format.Route data into Excel, or other Windows software, in real-timeAdd optional extras, such as process mimicsFree technical support for life by e-mail, fax or telephoneMoney-back guarantee if not satisfiedChoose the logging rate: anything between once every 24 hours to 5 samples per second per channel.Can log 200 samples per second from 40 or more channelsFor instruments sending messages in ASCII, binary or hexadecimalTroubleshoot serial communications: see all bytes sent and received, even non-printing characters like carriage returnsSee the state of the com port input and output linesFor Windows 10, 8, 7 64-bit and 32-biit, Vista, XP and 98Truly Modular

Each Windmill program concentrates on doing a single job and you simply run as many programs as you need. You can run several copies of each program, which means there are no fixed limits to the size of a Windmill system. You can also add other drivers, for example to collect data from USB instruments.

The Windmill Chart and Logger programs

What sort of Instruments can you Read with Windmill and COMIML.

You can control both those serial devices that continuously output messages, and those that require commands before supplying data. With a flexible approach to building command strings, and parsing the received data strings to extract data values, the majority instruments are supported. These include altimeters, balances, conductivity meters, data loggers, dial guages, digital indicators, digital thermometers, DMR, extensometers, fluorometers, force gauges, gas analysers, GPS, gyro compasses, hygrometers, I2C devices, ion gauges, load meters, motion sensors, multimeters, myographs, oxygen electrodes, particle analysers, pH meters, PIC microcontrollers, plcs, pressure transmitters, power analysers, RFID readers, thermoregulators, titrators, solar panel array controllers, sonar and water baths.

You have the freedom to mix and match equipment from many different manufacturers in many combinations. For example, serial devices from A D, Anton Paar, Ashtec, Bruël Kjær, Dataq Instruments, Datel, Datataker, Denver, Desoutter, Ecom, Edge Tech, Electro Industries, Fisher, Furuno, Garmin, Horiba, Mettler Toledo, Microchip Technology, Motorola, Molyteck, Newmar, Nu-Metrics, Omnistar, Omron, Orion, Parallax, Paroscientific, Patton, Phytron, Quantum Logic, Quest Scientific, Sartorius, Siemens, Telegan, Telemecanique, Texas Instruments, Transcell and Turner Designs have all been handled by Windmill. Many channels of data can be accepted from each instrument.Troubleshoot Serial Communications

Also included is the ComDebug software which lets you troubleshoot serial communications. It handles messages in both binary and ASCII formats. You can see all bytes sent and received, even non-printing characters like carriage returns. This is crucial when dealing with binary data. ComDebug also lets you see and set the state of the input and output lines to the computer s COM port. It can send 16-bit 2s complement integers, unsigned integers, single bits of data, floating point etc.Customer Comments

Some of these comments are about an earlier version of the software

This seems like the best, most versatile, and professional data acquisition/processing suite I have seen.

FK, Chalmers University of Technology

I needed a software program that can automatically send the appropriate commands to the OBDII device; interpret the response and make it available through Dynamic Data Exchange DDE. Searching around the internet I found WindmillThis program is perfect - it can request specific data through the OBDII interface and serve the data readings onto Excel.

I just finished settting up our Turner SCUFA Fluorometer with Windmill. Great software. It was very easy, Thanks.

GL, University of the Pacific

I am using the software to log a EZ compass tilt, roll and heading. Works great and saved me alot of programming.

KV, Physics Professor

The Windmill software was a great find for me. I had feared that I would have to write my own software as I could not find a flexible program that could accept custom-made drivers.

If you can answer Yes to these questions then Windmill will work for you.Can your instrument communicate either via the PC s COM port virtual or real over RS232, RS422, RS485 or Modbus protocol, or via TCP/IP - eg Ethernet or Internet.Does it send ASCII, binary or hexadecimal messages.Are you running Windows: any version from 95 to Windows 8.Does your instrument send its data in real-time. Is each data item fewer than 21 ASCII characters or 7 pairs of hexadecimal characters long excluding engineering units, headers, etc. Eg 123456789.0123456789.
