Introduction
1.1
Functional Description
The USB-COM-Plus adaptors are a family of communication devices. This model, USB2-F-6001, provides
a simple method of adapting legacy serial devices with RS422 interfaces to modern USB ports. This is
accomplished by incorporating the industry standard FTDI FT232R USB-Serial bridge chip.
Each USB2-F-6001 adapter contains a small internal electronic circuit board which utilises the FTDI
FT232R, mounted inside a rugged plastic enclosure capable of withstanding industrial temperature
ranges. The integrated electronics also include RS422 level shifters and TXD/RXD LEDs to provide a
visual indication of data traffic through the adapter.
Figure 1.1 USB-COM-Plus USB2-F-6001
Flexible mounting allows the USB2-F-6001 to be used in a variety of applications, from a portable adapter
to accompany a laptop to permanent installations in industrial, commercial and retail locations.
The enclosure incorporates a standard USB-B client connector for connection to an upstream host or hub
port. RS422-level signals, are available on an industry-standard DE-9P connector. The maximum
RS422-level data rate is 3Mbps.
The USB2-F-6001 adapter require USB device drivers, available free from
http://www.easysync.co.uk
or
http://www.easysync-ltd.com,
which are used to make the USB2-F-6001 appear as a Virtual COM Port
(VCP). This allows existing serial communications software, such as HyperTerminal, to exchange data
through the USB2-F-6001 to a legacy RS422 peripheral device.

USB B Client Connector
This connector provides the interface for connection to a USB Host or Hub port. A standard “A to B”
cable is provided, though one of a different length may also be used. The maximum cable length is 5
meters, according to the USB 2.0 specification.
FTDI FT232R
The FTDI FT232R provides the USB-to-Serial conversion. Operating system device drivers are required in
order to work with the FT232R to provide the Virtual COM Port serial functionality.
RS422 Level Shifter
The RS422 level shifter converts the signals provided by the FT232R into the voltage levels required by
RS422 devices.
DE-9P Connector (Male)
The DE-9P connector is configured in an industry standard (TIA/EIA-422) pin-out to provide connection
to RS422 peripherals through standard cables. See section 3.1.2
