Data sheet:

Interface USB <> 20mA Industry, Bus Powered

Expand any PC system with a 20mA port

The USB Interface model 34211 adds a 20mA interface to your system, allowing you to connect active and passive 20mA devices through a USB port.

Properties

Interfaces:

  • 1 x USB socket, type B
  • 1 x 20mA, 9-pin SUB-D plug
    • active or passive
  • Galvanic isolation between the ports
    • Isolation voltage min. 1kV DC

Management and connectivity:

  • USB 2.0 Full Speed Device (12 Mbit/s)
  • Industry-compatible design on account of
    • noise immunity in accordance with EN 61000-6-2
    • Housing for top-hat-rail installation
  • Active/passive mode for transmission and reception loop, individually adjustable
  • Optional full- and half-duplex mode with echo suppression
  • Common solution for Windows, Linux and Mac:
    • Supports all Windows versions 98 / Server 2003 (x86 and x64 versions) and higher.
    • Supports macOS from macOS 8 and higher
    • direct Linux support without additional driver from kernel version 2.4.0

Power supply:

  • No additional power supply required
    • Voltage supply via the USB
    • Galvanically isolated power connection

Standards & more

  • Conforms to standards both in office and industrial environments:
    • High noise resistance per EN 61000-6-2
    • Low noise emission per EN 55032:2015 + A1 Cl. B, EN 61000-3-2 & EN 61000-3-3
  • 5 year guarantee

Worth knowing

Overvoltage protection for serial interfaces
The permissible voltages allowed to have an effect on serial ports in case of an error are limited to rather low values according to the data sheet specifications for the interface components. Voltages which exceed these values even for a short time will inevitably result in damage to or even destruction of the integrated circuits.

To prevent such effects the USB-Interface 34211 includes integrated overvoltage protection which uses suppressor diodes to limit the maximum occurring voltages to harmless values in a variety of applications.
