Introduction

Technman’s 5501 USB Converter makes it easy to add RS-422 or RS-485

capability to your system. When plugged into the USB port, the converter is

automatically detected and installed. The converter shows as a native

Windows COM port, making it compatible with Windows serial

communication applications.

The Technman 5501 USB Converter provides a reliable solution for

applications requiring single node or multi-drop RS422/RS485

communications over short and long distance. It is ideal for factory

automation equipment, multi-drop data collection devices, barcode

readers, time clocks, scales, data entry terminals, PC to PC long distance

communications and serial communication in harsh environments.

The 5501 converter is powered by the USB port.

Hardware Installation

There is a 10 x 2 (20 pin) header block inside the unit that is used to select

the mode of operation. You will need to open up the plastic enclosure and

set the jumper settings to RS-422 mode or RS-485 mode as per the

requirements of your application. After setting the jumpers, plug the

converter into a USB port to start driver installation. The RS-422 & RS-485

Mode Block Configuration Settings are listed below.

Example jumper block setting (RS-422 mode):

- 2 -

RS-422 Mode Block Configuration

Jumper Function

1-2 TxD / RxD Termination of 120 Ohm. This jumper should always be

populated for RS-422.

3-4 CTS/ RTS Termination of 120 Ohm. This jumper should always be

populated for RS-422.

9-10 TxD Driver Always On. As RS-422 is full duplex point to point, the

transmitter should always be enabled.

13-14 RxD Always Enabled. As RS-422 is full duplex point to point, the

receiver should always be enabled.

17-18 Enable CTS Handshaking. This setting allows the data flow to be

controlled using CTS/RTS handshaking if required by the

application.

Note: all other positions = no jumper populated.

RS-485 Mode Block Configuration

Jumper Function

1-2 TxD / RxD Termination of 120 Ohm. This jumper should only be

populated at each end of the cable to meet RS-485 termination

requirements.

5-6

7-8

TxD / RxD Single Pair (half duplex for RS485). Populate both these

jumpers.

11-12 Enable TxD Driver only when transmitting. This is required by RS485

as multiple devices can transmit over the same twisted pair. When a

RS-485 is not transmitting, it’s transmitter must be turned off to

allow other devices to communicate over the same wires.

EITHER

13-14

15 - 16

RxD Always Enabled. In this mode, the same device will also receive

characters transmitted by the RS485 device. These echoed

characters are usually stripped out by the application software.

Transmit Data Echo Suppression Mode. In this mode, characters

transmitted by the RS485 device will NOT be received by the same

device. In this mode there is no need for the application software to

strip out the transmitted data from the received data as it is handled

by the hardware.

19-20 CTS Always Enabled. As there is no hardware handshaking in RS-

485, CTS should be permanently enabled to allow unrestricted flow

of data. If handshaking is required for RS-485 it can be done using X-

On / X-Off handshaking protocol.

Note: all other positions = no jumper populated.

Windows 9x Driver Installation

1. Insert the provided CD-ROM.

2. Plug in the USB connector into the USB port on the 5501 converter, and

connect the USB connector on the other end of the cable to the host

USB port in your computer.

3. Windodws will show “Building Driver Information Database” followed by

the Add New Hardware Wizard.

4. The "Add New Hardware Wizard" searches for drivers for the 5501

converter. Click “Next”.

5. Select “Search for the best driver for your device” and click "Next".

6. Make sure only "CD-Rom drives" is selected and click "Next".

7. Windows searches for drivers for the device "USB to RS422/485
