USB Gateway Module

The USB Gateway Module is a compact hardware interface designed to establish seamless communication between a computer and Acrome’s Smart Motion Devices (SMDs). Acting as a bridge between the digital and physical worlds, it enables reliable, high-speed serial communication through a standard USB connection.

At its core, the USB Gateway functions as a USB-to-UART/RS-485 converter, translating commands from the computer into a format that SMD modules can understand—and vice versa. This makes it a critical component for developing real-time motion control applications.

The module connects to an SMD via a standard RJ-11 cable, simplifying the wiring and setup process. Whether you're controlling motors, reading sensors, or executing coordinated motion commands, the USB Gateway ensures low-latency, robust communication, even in continuous operation.

To assist with debugging and user feedback, the module includes built-in TX and RX LEDs. These indicators provide real-time visualization of data transfer, making it easy to verify communication status at a glance.

Whether you're building an educational demo, a research-grade automation platform, or a personal robotics project, the USB Gateway Module is your reliable link between software logic and physical motion.
