The UPort® 2210 from Moxa is a USB-to-serial converter that connects two RS-232 devices to a computer via a USB port. It serves as an interface adapter for applications requiring serial communication, but where only USB ports are available. The device is designed for use in mobile systems, point-of-sale systems (POS), and industrial environments, where stable and reliable data transfer between legacy devices and modern computers is necessary.

Applications

The UPort 2210 is suitable for applications requiring multiple serial devices to be connected to a computer, for example in automation technology, industrial control systems, or retail systems. Its robust construction and support for operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and macOS enable flexible integration into existing IT infrastructures. The compact design and integrated status LEDs simplify installation and maintenance, especially in space-constrained environments.

Functions and Features in Detail

The converter features two serial RS-232 ports, each connected via a DB9 male connector. The serial interface supports a baud rate from 50 bps to 921.6 kbps, enabling high data transfer rates for serial communication. Configuration of data bits (5, 6, 7, 8), stop bits (1, 1.5, 2), and parity types (None, Even, Odd, Space, Mark) is flexibly adjustable to meet various device requirements. Flow control can be managed via RTS/CTS or XON/XOFF, ensuring data integrity at high transmission rates. Signals TxD, RxD, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD, and GND are fully supported.

Technology Explained Simply

The USB interface of the UPort 2210 complies with USB 1.1 / 2.0 standards and supports speeds of 12 Mbps and 480 Mbps. Power supply is via the USB port at 5 VDC, with the converter consuming 140 mA. Integrated status LEDs indicate operational status and assist in troubleshooting. The housing is made of polycarbonate (PC), providing high mechanical stability and resistance to mechanical stress. Dimensions are 70 × 35 × 120 mm, and the device weighs 120 g.

Compatibility and Accessories

The UPort 2210 is compatible with drivers for Windows, Linux, and macOS, enabling broad use in various environments. A utility program for setting the starting address of COM ports simplifies configuration. The device can be connected using a USB Type A to Type B cable, which is included in the delivery. Certifications include EMI standards such as CISPR 32 and FCC Part 15B Class B, as well as ESD protection with 8 kV contact and 4 kV air. Additional standards such as EFT, Surge, CS, PFMF, Vibration, and Drop test are also met. Safety standard UL 60950-1 and environmental standards such as RoHS, CRoHS, and WEEE are complied with.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by connecting the USB Type B plug to the computer and linking the RS-232 devices via the DB9 connectors. Driver installation is carried out using the provided quick start guide. The status LEDs indicate operational status, enabling quick fault diagnosis. The compact form factor allows flexible placement, even in tight spaces.

Operational Advantages

The UPort 2210 offers high reliability with an MTBF of 4,221,778 hours. Its robust construction and comprehensive certifications ensure a safe and stable operating environment. Support for multiple operating systems and flexible configuration of serial parameters enable easy integration into existing systems. The integrated status LEDs and compact design enhance user-friendliness and simplify maintenance.
