Learn More About Industrial USB-to-Serial Converters

A USB-to-serial converter is a device that allows a computer or embedded host with USB connectivity to communicate with serial equipment. It effectively provides a serial interface through a USB connection, making it possible to use serial devices with systems that do not have built-in serial ports.

A USB-to-serial converter is useful when the host system only has USB available but the connected equipment still relies on RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 communication. This is common in industrial settings where modern laptops, industrial PCs, or embedded platforms need to connect to legacy or serial-based devices.

Depending on the model, USB-to-serial converters can support RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, or a combination of these standards. The right option depends on the interface used by the connected device and the communication requirements of the application.

No. They are often used for commissioning, diagnostics, and maintenance, but they can also be used as part of a permanent installation where a host system needs stable serial connectivity through USB. The suitability depends on the product design, installation method, and operating environment.

Important factors include the serial standard required, number of ports, driver support, mounting method, operating environment, and whether the application needs added features such as isolation or surge protection. The best choice depends on both the host system and the serial device being connected.
