Frequently Asked Questions

No! The ISO-USB2RS485 uses the standard CDC (Communication Device Class) drivers that are built into Windows, Linux, and macOS. Simply connect it via USB and it will work immediately.

Galvanic isolation electrically separates two circuits, preventing ground loops and protecting against high-voltage transients. The 4000Vpk isolation in the ISO-USB2RS485 ensures your computer is protected from dangerous voltages in industrial environments.

Yes! The ISO-USB2RS485 fully supports Modbus RTU and other standard serial protocols. It acts as a transparent RS485 converter, making it ideal for Modbus-based systems and other industrial protocols.

RS485 is designed for long-distance communication. Typical distances are up to 1200 meters at lower baud rates and 500+ meters at 3 Mbps, depending on cable quality and environmental conditions. Twisted pair, shielded cables are recommended for optimal performance.

Yes, RS485 supports full-duplex communication when properly wired with separate send and receive lines. The ISO-USB2RS485 is fully compatible with both half-duplex and full-duplex RS485 implementations.

The ISO-USB2RS485 is compatible with Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11), Linux (all distributions with kernel 2.6+), and macOS (10.5+). It will appear as a standard COM port (Windows) or /dev/ttyUSB* (Linux/macOS).
