The RS422/USB converter transforms digital signals from a laser-optical sensor into a USB data packet. The sensor and the converter are connected via the RS422 interface of the converter. Data output is done via USB interface. The converter loops through further signals and features such as laser on/off, switch signals and function output. The connected sensors and the converter can be programmed through software.
