Overview
The UPort 1110 and UPort 1130 are part of Moxa’s UPort line of USB-to-serial adaptors. 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 1110 and UPort 1130 provide 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 adds one port that is configurable for RS-422, 2-wire RS-485, and
4-wire RS-485 modes. Both models can operate at speeds of up to 12 Mbps, which is much faster
than the current maximum serial transfer rate.
The adaptor is bus-powered, so no external power supply is required.
