The MD-CC404/5-000 USB to RS-422/485 Converter is a plug-n-play device, which uses a Virtual COM Port (VCP). Drivers will typically automatically install on an Internet-connected PC notebook or Windows tablet when the device is connected to a free USB port. If automatic installation fails, or if you need to download drivers for a non-connected PC, or for an alternate operating system, the drivers may be downloaded from the web at MD-CC404/5-000 Drivers (FTDI VCP Drivers)

The MD-CC40x-001 USB to RS-422/485 Converter is a plug-n-play device, which uses a Virtual COM Port (VCP). Drivers will typically automatically install on an Internet-connected PC, notebook or Windows tablet when the device is connected to a free USB port. If automatic installation fails, or if you need to download drivers for a non-connected PC, or for an alternate operating system, the drivers may be downloaded from the web at Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers

A: If you see this part number it means that you have an older MD-CC40x. This converter has a legacy device ID and will ONLY function on x86 (32-bit) Windows systems. The legacy drivers and installation instructions may be found at:

The Novanta IMS Liberty* MDrive product will function with any third party RS-422/485 converter or PC card. See the manufacturer documentation for driver installation. Reference the Hardware: wiring and cabling tab for connection information.

Have confidence, this product will match whatever baud rate your equipment needs without data loss. Includes large 512 byte Tx and Rx and high data throughput. Works across the full spectrum of baud rates up to 921,600 including standard and arbitrary values.

I am trying to load the driver for a Dtech USB to RS422 converter onto my Asus laptop with operating system WinXP (+ package3).
The computer cannot find, or load the drivers provided on the CD.
The CD does contain a file titled i386.
When I try it on my other laptop using Win8 they load with no problem.
How do I load the drivers to the XP laptop??

Thanks Adrian and Chris.
That last link I sent seems to work to get onto the files at Dropcanvas. However testing it at my end, Chrome says its malware and wont let me open the files. Maybe you can get around that??

In the old days of personal computers, one of the primary connections available was the RS-232 serial port. Apart from the parallel port, it was the primary means to connect an external device. The connector was reduced from a 25-pin connector to a 9-pin connector, but RS-232 ports remained present on every computer for many years. Built-in RS-232 ports featured direct mapping to memory and worked at a high priority. Data practically flowed directly to and from the software that was accessing the serial port.

In 1996, the Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard was introduced as a replacement for the serial connector and other connector types that were typically found on the back of computers. The USB provided smaller connectors and more data throughput than the serial and parallel interfaces it replaced.

USB devices have high throughput, but they use a shared data bus. Data is wrapped up and transferred in packets. To handle the packets and move data in and out of the program accessing the USB device, a software driver is needed. The software driver sits between the hardware and the computer program you are using, and it must be installed and working correctly.

For USB to RS-232 chips, there are two primary manufacturers: Prolific and FTDI. Because off-brand chips with poor drivers are unreliable, Campbell Scientific recommends and currently sells a cable using an FTDI chip (part number 17394). We chose this cable because it uses a chip that has a certified driver available on Windows Update. (The older cables were silver in color and did not have a driver available for Windows beyond version 7.)

I have seen several cases where old cables could no longer handle 115200 baud, but the cables still worked on low baud rates. There have been many more cases where a USB cable stopped working half-way through a day in the field.

In addition to lowering your latency time, I also recommend disabling the Selective Suspend option for your cable. The Selective Suspend option allows Windows to put your hardware to sleep, which can result in corrupt data packets. To disable the Selective Suspend option, clear the checkbox for the Enable Selective Suspend field on the Advanced Settings window for your device.

We have a couple older CNC machines that use rs232. The onboard storage is very small so they will request the file in chunks from the host PC. I want to update there computers but with phasing out of serial ports, my best option is a USB to serial adapter. Is this a viable option for machines that require this connection to run for hours at a time?

For such an application, I would recommend spending extra to buy an industrial rated interface with electrical isolation. For PCs that have card slots, you can purchase RS232 cards. Industrial models are available with electrical protection built in.

I have an issue where my prolific USB to Serial adapter stopped being detected as 'n "Ports (Com & LPT)" device. It keeps on detecting it is a " USB Composite" device, even after installing the correct Windows drivers downloaded directly from the manufacturer's website. Uninstalling it and reinstalling it doesn't help.

I get the same result on another computer also running Windows 10. It simply refuses to recognize the adapter as a USB to Serial device anymore and keeps on detecting it as a "USB Composite" device as soon as you plug it in after uninstalling it and restarting Windows. Windows also claims that it finds no better driver than the one currently installed when doing a driver search, even after installing the manufacturer drivers.

Hi,

I'm facing a weird problem with my USB to serial-adapter. The adapter has a Prolific-2303 chipset. The COM port is not getting detected by the Windows 7 laptop.

I've installed the drivers and restarted the computer after installing the drivers.
I've run the driver update from the device manager and updated the drivers.
I also tried to install the COM port manually from the device manager.
I checked the adapter by connecting it to another desktop computer and the COM port is getting detected.
