3.1.1 USB
The USB-COM485-Plus1 is a downstream USB 2.0 Device. A standard USB Series “B” receptacle is
reference to USB-F-1001 to facilitate connection to an upstream USB Host or Hub.
Table 3.1 USB "B" Receptacle Pin-Out
3.1.2 RS485
The RS485 port is configured as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE), with a 9-contact D-Sub Pin connector.
Pin assignments are according to TIA/EIA-485. In addition, pin9 of DE-9P may be assigned to provide
+5VDC to an external device with a maximum current draw of 250mA once the USB-COM485-Plus1 has
been enumerated by the system.
