The Moxa UPort 1130 Industrial USB-to-RS-422/485 Converter is designed to provide instant connectivity between USB-enabled computers and RS-422/485 serial devices. Ideal for engineers and system integrators, it makes it simple to connect legacy equipment such as PLCs, sensors, meters, and controllers to modern laptops and PCs without native serial ports.
Supporting baud rates up to 921.6 kbps, the UPort 1130 ensures reliable high-speed data transmission for industrial applications. Its USB 2.0-compatible interface supports plug-and-play operation, while the DB9 serial connector and bundled mini DB9-to-terminal block adapter simplify wiring in diverse installation environments.
The UPort 1130 is supported across a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS, as well as virtualization environments such as VMware and Parallels. This ensures broad compatibility for both OT and IT applications. LED indicators for USB activity and TxD/RxD status provide at-a-glance diagnostics, reducing setup and troubleshooting time.
With its rugged ABS+polycarbonate housing, compact footprint, and 5-year warranty, the UPort 1130 is a reliable and cost-effective solution for integrating RS-422/485 devices into USB-based systems. For applications requiring electrical isolation, the UPort 1130I model offers 2 kV isolation protection.
