A termination only needs to be performed if both the length of the line and the baud rate affect propagation. This adapter has never failed me and I have connected a few components under 1000 feet long without the need for termination resistors. It's a good idea to double check the line length and baud rate to verify propagation delay in nanosec to determine whether a terminator is needed. Here is what I hope will help.
Mini USB is not what this item is, so it seems the seller does not actually know what he is selling. *br>*br>The type A connector is a standard. Usb connectors have traditionally been male connectors, which are the most commonly used type.
According to the instruction sheet that is shown A set of power and data traffic indicator lights are included with the converter in case of any malfunctions". There are LEDs labeled PWR, RXD, and TXD mounted on the module just above the terminal block to indicate the status of these components.
The application supports Windows 10 to the fullest extent.

If there is one other person alive who uses Wattlow's EZ-calc utility, please let me know It works just as well as the Zone Configurator It should be at least In the meantime, I will test the one sold by WATLOW, which is only 14% the cost. Let's see how it holds up over time. Plugging it in and letting Windows run (don't know about Mac & Linux) should do the trick. Alternatively, you can go to Device Manager on a Linux system to get the driver, or go online to get it from the web. The latency for the COM port needs to be set if there are issues. You will still have to supply power to the WATLOW device while it is being configured.
As much as I would have liked, I would have given this product a rating of A 5 out of 5. It works well and does what is supposed to be done. There are a few issues with it. Once connected to my Windows 7 computer the latest FTDI driver was installed automatically and the device appeared to be working. As I was testing it with a terminal program, all text in the lower-right corner of Characters in lowercase ASCII are garbage, but characters in uppercase are fine Transfer of case letters was successful. As I checked further, I discovered that the driver did not display any ASCII character above 0x59 hex. Once I had installed this driver, I installed (older) FTDI driver attached to the mini-PC You should then be able to start using the device after you installed the CD that came with it. Adding to this, if the RS- T The 485 devices connected to the system have been re-configured A system that has been rebooted or disconnected and then reconnected When connecting to this converter, the converter appears to lose its USB connection on the Windows side of things (sometimes, In other words, it means re-reading Getting back to the drawing board or re-starting Getting the Windows serial/terminal program up and running. all, this device is excellent for test purposes, but if you're using it to test an RS-232 In the event that you have a 485 device (or a new product, as I did) then ensure that it is set up and operating correctly before proceeding.
With BQT software, I am able to locate BACNET MSTP devices. This tool can be used to change the object name as well as to verify the instance number. Features big screws to connect transmit and receive, as well as a light to indicate whether the device is transmitting or.
It was impossible for me to send or receive any data from Minicom in Linux I was unable to send data because the LEDs would not blink. As far as I could tell, Minicom doesn't have a simple "toggle DTR" function. It IS possible to toggle the DTR setting in GTKterm In the instant I used it, the device woke up and began to work. It didn't fail right out of the box. *Windows' default serial behavior is different.

The case works, but there are no written instructions or any useful marks on it. I would have given it 5 stars. The label I added was my own. This is the third time I use half duplex (2 wire) and full duplex (4 wire) The settings for the wire. The two motors were from Applied Motion Products that I used to connect to two servo motors.
This connector works just as I wanted, connecting a raspberry pi to a carrier infinity proprietary MODBUS bus over a ethernet Our decoding program is currently decoding frames. Do note that when I connected it to the serial lines for the first time, it did not work. In addition, there are shape blocks that plug into other USB ports on the Pi. In addition, if pins 1 through 5 had SAS485 designations rather than just numbers, it would be much more handy. These things are not enough to stop you from buying, however.
It would be great if you could add a label to this device! The device could have been reviewed if we had been given a star for labeling the ports.
