1 TC-UR24 USB to Serial port Adapter Your Best Solution for PC-to-PLC Communication Overview The TC-UR24 USB-to-Serial port adapter is a low-cost high-performance single chip solution that provides bi-directional connectivity between any standard USB compliant host systems with another serial device. Unlike previous file transfer methods like serial cable, parallel cable and IrDA, the TC-UR24 adapter has a more advanced bus protocol and operation system that offers much higher bandwidth and easier user interface. The TC-UR24 adapter can be embedded in the link cable. Both sides of the cable function as an upstream connector that could join a USB network such as the USB port of a PC or the downstream port of a USB hub. Through switching and protocol adjustment in the controller chip, any PC or USB hosts can communicate with other PLC or serial devices while adopting maximum speed for bulk-type data formats. In addition, data are allowed to flow in both directions simultaneously without compromising on performance. Both PC and PLC can control the device using standard serial command; the data flow is directed by a vendor-specific scheme. Features Transfers data between USB interface and serial device Full compliance with the Universal Serial Bus Specification Version 1.1 USB full-speed connection Double data buffer supporting two-way data transfer Low power consumption Supports suspend and resume power management USB drivers running under WinXP, Win2000, WinME and Win98 Bus powered from USB port Suitable for mobile PC environment On-chip USB transceiver On-chip oscillator using one 12 MHz crystal No glue logic needed and can be embedded in small space File synchronization Two LEDs Display the power and communicate status
