Subject: Re: [usb] USB for Industrial Equipment
The manufacturer of your transceiver should provide application notes for your points.
But another issue is the connector, which is clearly not for industrial environment.
It is not watertight, cannot be mechanically fixed and is very likely to fall off in an vibrating environment.
But maybe somebody has seen a solution which overcomes these problems and is still compatible to the standard connector?

Hello,
Im not very familiar with USB yet, but is it ok to use USB
instead of RS-232 for industrial equipment? I know that
the interface has to be more robust, so it should include
overcurrent/overvoltage/transient protection circuitry, right?
So Im thinking of PTCs, MLVs, ESD suppressors - but now Im
worried that I may be overdoing it. So another question is,
how much protection do you actually need? What kind of
protection can you do without? Im also thinking about the
cost factor. Maybe you guys can suggest other low-cost
alternatives?
Rgds,
Ricky Nite
