Overview
The UPort 1100 series is a part of Moxa’s UPort line of USB-to-serial converters. The UPort line provides a range
of easy-to-use solutions for adding COM ports through a PC’s USB port. Simply install the drivers, connect the
UPort to your computer, plug in your serial devices, and you’re ready to go. Programming is not required, and
you do not need to worry about IRQs, configuring a board, power requirements, or connection schemes.
The UPort 1100 series provides single COM port expansion. The UPort 1110 adds one RS-232 port to your
computer, which is the same type of COM port that is built into most PC motherboards. The UPort 1130/1130I
adds one port that is configurable for RS-422, 2-wire RS-485, and 4-wire RS-485 modes. The UPort
1150/1150I adds one RS-232, RS-422, 2 wire RS-485, or 4 wire RS-485 port to your computer. All of these
models can operate at speeds of up to 12 Mbps, which is much faster than the current maximum serial transfer
rate. The converter is bus-powered, so no external power supply is required.
ARDC (Automatic Recovery Data Communication)
ARDC (Automatic Recovery Data Communication) makes it easier to recover data transmission, even if the
cable is accidentally unplugged. This means that you do not need to worry about reconfiguring complex
settings to ensure smooth data transmission. If the USB cable is accidentally unplugged, simply plug it back
into the same port and the converter will automatically reconnect with the host and continue to transfer data.
This feature not only eliminates the need for reconfiguration, but also reduces the probability of data loss.
