Product description: USB - RS232 / RS485 / UART(TTL) converter - FT232RL - Waveshare 15817
This industrial converter provides easy communication between the USB interface and the RS232, RS485 or UART (TTL) standards. It is equipped with the FT232RL chip, ensuring fast, stable and reliable communication as well as better compatibility. It has built-in protection circuits such as power supply isolation, ADI magnetic isolation and TVS (transient voltage suppressor). The aluminum housing ensures sturdiness and durability, ideal for demanding industrial environments.
The manufacturer has prepared a detailed user guide that will make working with the converter easier.
Special features of the converter
- Supported interfaces: USB to RS232, USB to RS485, USB to TTL (UART).
- Fast and stable communication: the converter is based on the FT232RL system.
- Power and Signal Isolation: Built-in power isolation ensures stable voltage, and ADI magnetic isolation offers high reliability and low power consumption.
- Built-in TVS: effectively suppresses voltage surges and surges, protecting against lightning and electrostatic discharges.
- Self-recovery fuse and protection diodes: ensure stable current/voltage outputs, protecting against overloads and overvoltages.
- Automatic transmit and receive circuit: ensures fast and stable communication without interference between the USB port and other interfaces.
- TTL Voltage Converter: The switch allows you to set the voltage level to 3.3V / 5V.
- Durable housing: made of aluminum, resistant to mechanical damage.
- LED Indicators: Three LEDs indicate power status and data transmission and reception status.
