 There is no need to hassle with baud rates, parity, and other serial communication settings, or worry about whether to cross TX and RX pins. Once connected via USB, if the device appears in Windows Device Manager, or in the output of ''lsusb'' on Linux, it's immediately ready to use. There is no need to hassle with baud rates, parity, and other serial communication settings, or worry about whether to cross TX and RX pins.

 **IMPORTANT**:  12~24VDC power must be supplied for proper operation. Although the USB Type B connector provides sufficient power for USB communication, it does not provide sufficient power for the IO modules to operate correctly.  For the USB Molex connector, 12~24VDC power is required even for USB communication. **IMPORTANT**:  12~24VDC power must be supplied for proper operation.
