While USB-C to RS232 Serial Converters are available for Windows PC and other computers (the RS232 Serial Interface often presented as a DB9 or RJ45 console connection), none are known to be compatible with iPad.


Interface converters require appropriate device-driver software on the host device. iOS/iPadOS doesn't provide the facility to independently add device driver software to iPad, instead requiring Apps to provide the required device driver for a connected device.


Unless you are able to identify a specialist Terminal App for iPad that supports a specific Serial interface device, you'll not be able to achieve your aim.


As an alternative, consider using a proprietary WiFi/Bluetooth to Serial interface - and a appropriate App. Here is one possibility to explore:
