The UPort 1600-8 USB-to-serial converters allow you to connect 8x RS-232/422/485 devices to your laptop or workstation through the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port. The UPort 1600-8 converters are compatible with new and legacy serial devices, and are perfect for instrumentation and manufacturing applications.
Typical Application— Application Topology
Medical scientists and pharmaceutical researchers rely on sophisticated laboratory equipment to discover new treatments for patients. Most research is carried out in teams given the complex and collaborative nature of medical science. Scientists often transfer images and data from microscopes and other equipment to each other’s laptops or desktop computers.
Connecting all of these pieces of equipment usually requires multiple serial ports, one for each peripheral device. Since computers are only equipped with a limited number of serial ports, expanding a USB connection into multiple serial ports can provide researchers with the connectivity they need to make their next scientific breakthrough. Moxa’s solution is the UPort 1600-8, which is a USB-to-serial converter that can be used to connect multiple serial interface microscopes and other equipment to a computer’s USB port. The UPort 1600-8 provides the following benefits:
8x ports for easy USB-to-serial expansion
True USB2.0 high-speed transmission for large data transmission
128-byte FIFO and on-chip hardware and software flow control to ensure stable data transmission
Easy troubleshooting with LED indicators for each serial port
Compatibility with both laptop and desktop PCs
