UPort 1100 Series Introduction

1-2

Overview

The UPort 1100 series is part of Moxa’s UPort line of USB-to-serial converters. The UPort line provides a range

of easy-to-use solutions for adding COM ports through a PC’s USB port. Simply install the drivers, connect the

UPort to your computer, plug in your serial devices, and you’re ready to go. Programming is not required, and

you do not need to worry about IRQs, configuring a board, power requirements, or connection schemes.

The UPort 1100 series provides single COM port expansion. The UPort 1110 adds one RS-232 port to your

computer, which is the same type of COM port that is built into most PC motherboards. The UPort 1130/1130I

adds one port that is configurable for RS-422, 2-wire RS-485, and 4-wire RS-485 modes. The UPort

1150/1150I adds one RS-232, RS-422, 2 wire RS-485, or 4 wire RS-485 port to your computer. All of these

models can operate at speeds of up to 12 Mbps, which are much faster than the current maximum serial

transfer rate. The converter is bus-powered, so no external power supply is required.

ARDC (Automatic Recovery Data Communication)

ARDC (Automatic Recovery Data Communication) makes it easier to recover data transmission, even if the

cable is accidentally unplugged. This means that you do not need to worry about reconfiguring complex

settings to ensure smooth data transmission. If the USB cable is accidentally unplugged, simply plug it back

into the same port, and the converter will automatically reconnect with the host and continue to transfer data.

This feature not only eliminates the need for reconfiguration, but it also reduces the probability of data loss.
