      Universal Serial Bus (USB) has become the 
    connectivity workhorse of today’s PCs, replacing the 
    familiar serial ports. However, many commercial 
    and industrial devices still use the RS-485 interface. 
    To connect these devices to modern PCs, you need 
    a simple and reliable conversion solution. The 
    485USBTB-2W and 485USBTB-4W offer this 
    solution in a space saving, USB Port powered 
    package. Simply plug the converter into an available 
    USB port on your computer or USB hub and install 
    the drivers supplied on CD ROM. The device will 
    show up as an additional COM port in the Windows 
    Device Manager which is fully compatible with your 
    Windows applications. Select the 485USBTB-2W 
    for RS-485 2-wire applications or the 485USBTB-
    4W for RS-485 4-wire applications. Locked serial 
    number versions are also available (see the 
    installation notes in the driver section). A one meter 
    USB cable is included. Remember, when it comes 
    to USB to Serial Conversion, B&B Electronics 
    Ulinx™ brand is your number one choice.

    Check Drivers 
    Screen shots are from Windows XP 
    •  Right click on My Computer. Select the Hardware 
    tab. 
    •  Expand the USB Controllers tree. The USB Serial 
    Converter will be listed.  
     
    •  Expand the Ports (COM & LPT) tree. The USB 
    Serial Port will be listed as the next available 
    COM Port. 
     
    Installation Notes  
    •  These USB to serial converters are offered as serialized 
    (each unit has a unique electronic serial number) or with 
    locked serial numbers (each unit has the same 
    electronic serial number). LS models are great for 
    applications, such as field service, in which a pool of 
    converters area shared.  
    •  SEARIALIZED – Select a serialized model if the USB to 
    serial Converter is to be assigned to a unique COM port. 
    If you plug in a converter with a different serial number, 
    the driver installation procedure will be initiated again. 
    This will also allocate another COM port and USB 
    Controller in Windows. This will happen even if the first 
    converter is not plugged in.  
    •  LOCKED SERIAL NUMBER – Select a locked serial 
    number model (-LS suffix) if you desire different USB to 
    serial converters of the same type to share a single 
    COM port (one at a time). With the locked serial number 
    models, you only need to install the driver once, 
    provided two converters are not plugged in at the same 
    time. The locked serial number products are intended for 
    uses, such as field service, in which PC’s and 
    converters are mixed and matched.  
    •  Instructions for uninstalling the driver are located on the 
    CD ROM.

    485USBTB-4W Loop 
    Back Test  
    •  Loopback TDA(-) to RDA(-) and TDB(+) to 
    RDB(+) as shown in the diagram above. 
    •  Using Hyper Terminal or similar program, 
    connect to the appropriate COM port. Set the 
    desired baud rate. Ensure Hyper Terminal local 
    echo is OFF.  
    •  Transmit data. If the same character string is 
    returned, the test is good.  
    •  A detailed description of this test is located in the 
    technical notes section of our web page, 
    www.bb-elec.com. 
    •  This converter is used for RS-485 2-Wire Systems. 
    •  Loosen the screws to open the Terminal Block lead 
    clamps for the A(-), B(+), and GND terminals. 
    •  Insert the RS-485 2-Wire signal leads in accordance 
    with the diagram above. The TB will accept 28 to 16 
    AWG wire.  
    •  Tighten the screws to close the TB lead clamps. Ensure 
    the clamps hold the leads securely. However, do not 
    over tighten.  
    •  Bias is provided by 4.7KΩ pull-up and pull-down 
    resistors.  
    •  If termination is required, it must be installed externally. 
    In most cases, termination is not required.  
    •  During operation, the receiver toggles with the transmit 
    data.  
    •  Refer to B&B Electronics’ RS-422/485 Application Note 
    for more information regarding biasing and termination. 
    485USBTB-4W Wiring 
    •  This converter is used for RS-485 4-Wire Systems. 
    •  Loosen the screws to open the Terminal Block lead 
    clamps for the TDA(-), TDB(+), RDA(-), RDB(+), and 
    GND terminals. 
    •  Insert the RS-485 2-Wire signal leads in accordance 
    with the diagram above. The TB will accept 28 to 16 
    AWG wire.  
    •  Tighten the screws to close the TB lead clamps. Ensure 
    the clamps hold the leads securely. However, do not 
    over tighten.  
    •  Bias is provided by 4.7KΩ pull-up and pull-down 
    resistors.  
    •  If termination is required, it must be installed externally. 
    In most cases, termination is not required.  
    •  During operation, the receiver is always active.  
    •  Refer to B&B Electronics’ RS-422/485 Application Note  
    for more information regarding termination and biasing.   
    485USBTB-2W Back to 
    Back Test  
    •  Due to the circuit configuration, a loop back test 
    is not possible with this model. However, two 
    converters can be used in a back to back 
    configuration. 
    •  Wire the converters as shown above.  
    •  Using Hyper Terminal or similar program, 
    connect to the appropriate COM ports. Set the 
    desired baud rate.  
    •  Transmit data. If the same string is received on 
    the distant end, the test is good.
