FTDI has announced the new USB-COM232-PLUS1 module, the first in its family of USB-COM-PLUS modules.
The USB-COM232-PLUS1 is a USB to single channel RS232 level serial UART incorporating FTDI’s FT232RQ IC which handles all the USB signalling and USB to UART protocols. The modules provide a fast, simple way to connect devices with an RS232 level serial UART interface (9 way standard D-type connector) to USB (type B socket).
Supporting communications with any RS232 device, the module’s RS232 port provides full hardware handshaking capability and a data rate of up to 1 Mbps. It also has three LEDs which indicate power and give a visual indication of traffic through the module.
Device drivers are available for all current Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems. The module has a wide range of operating temperature from -40°C to +85°C making it suitable for applications in harsh environments.
Likely applications include industrial machinery such as CNC machines and lathes, retail equipment such as point of sale scanners, printers and other data collection devices. Other target sectors include medical monitoring devices, sports equipment and many other home automation and person electronic devices.
