This is the most compatible RS232 USB serial converter on the market!
It can be challenging to find a USB to serial / USB to RS232 converter that works and is compatible with your CNCs and equipment. Countless CNC and Machine Automation service engineers have learned the hard way that most generic USB to RS232 converter adapters will not work with their machine's RS232 communications or PLCs. They have even tried Express card to serial port adapters but have found that they also do not work - especially on older CNC controls.
Our USB to Serial Adapter has been fully tested on many machines, PLCs and other RS232 communication devices and applications and it contiunes to prove itself in the field on various machines and controls that is indeed the most compatible RS232 USB Serial Converter on the market.

NOTE: This device uses virtual COM ports and on occasion some RS232 software does not utilize USB to serial converters properly. In which case there is a 60 Day TRIAL of DNC4U on the CD for you to test with to determine if your software is the problem. Predator software that comes with BOBCad may or may not work with this converter.
NOTE: This adapter does not hook directly up to the machine. This provides a serial port on your computer capable of RS232 communications. You still need an additional cable configured for your machine. If you do not have one you may Buy our 10ft RS232 Cable here or Buy a custom-length RS232 Cable here.
We recommend DNC4U if you do not have any DNC software. DNC4U can detect your RS232 communication settings as you output the file from the CNC.
