How to use

Plug the USB Type-A connector into a compatible USB port on the host device. Connect the RS-485 end to the serial device following the device's wiring and polarity requirements for A/B lines. Install any required drivers on the host if prompted, configure the serial communication parameters (baud rate, parity, stop bits) in the host application, and verify communication with the connected device.

Recommendations

For reliable RS-485 operation, use appropriate termination and biasing on the RS-485 bus when connecting multiple devices. Avoid routing the cable near high-voltage lines or strong electromagnetic sources to minimise interference.
