Overview
UPort 1200/1400/1600 Series products are easy to install and use. After installing the drivers on your PC,
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.
UPort 1200/1400/1600 Series products are compliant with USB 1.1, and 2.0 specifications, and meet the 480
Mbps high-speed requirement of Hi-Speed USB 2.0. Using your computer’s USB ports to connect serial devices
reduces the total cost of ownership, investment in hardware, and long term management and integration costs.
The UPort 1400 series converters support both bus power and external power. The UPort 1250I, UPort 1600-8,
and UPort 1600-16 converters support external power only. When using bus power, the UPort will get 500 mA
through the laptop’s or workstation’s USB port. When an external power adapter or power cord is used, the
UPort will only get 100 mA through the laptop or workstation’s USB port.
ADDC
TM
(Automatic Data Direction Control) for
RS-485
ADDC™ (Automatic Data Direction Control) makes it easier to manage 2-wire RS-485 half-duplex connections,
eliminating the need for software interference. This means that it is not necessary to write extra code for
Windows applications to control the half-duplex protocol. ADDC™ intelligence is built into the UPort
1200/1400/1600 USB-to-serial converters that support the RS-485 serial interface.
ARDC (Automatic Recovery Data
Communication)
ARDC (Automatic Recovery Data Communication) makes it easier to auto recover data transmissions even if
the cable gets unplugged accidentally. This means the user does not need to worry about reconfiguring
complex settings to ensure smooth data transmissions. 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 reduces reconfiguration time, but also the probability of data loss.
