Advantech USB-4604BM

USB-4604 series allows PC users to connect a serial device to a system that use a USB interface. To attach the USB-4604B/4604BM to a PC, you don’t need to open the chassis or power down your PC. Instantly get extra high-speed RS-232/422/485 ports. The power is derived from the USB port, so there are no power adapters to deal with. This makes the USB-4604B/4604BM especially suitable for modems, printers, POS systems and industrial control devices. Supporting USB2.0 high speed, USB-4604B/4604BM features several powerful functions such as high-speed 921.6 kbps transmission, support for various operating systems, independent RS-232/422/485 ports and more. By simply plugging in a USB hub, USB-4604B and USB-4604BM eliminates the configuration issues associated with high-priced, older card solutions. You only have to install the drivers, no need to set cards slots, IRQ addresses, DMA channels, or device addresses. This reduces programming effort.
