Dual channel isolated RS485 HAT for Raspberry Pi
Regular price:
product unavailable
A two-channel isolated RS485 module for Raspberry Pi. The module is based on SC16IS752+SP3485 chips.
The use of ADUM1412 digital isolators, compared to optocouplers, made it possible to achieve high transmission rates.
The module has multiple protections and isolation for the data and power paths. The module can be controlled via a high-speed SPI interface. It is ideal in the implementation of industrial automation.
Features:
- Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO standard connector.
- Contains SC16IS752+SP3485 chips for SPI to RS485 bus conversion, at up to 921600bps.
- Automatic or manual data transmission, configurable via DIP switch.
- Includes TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor), effective surge suppression, protection against lightning and electrostatic discharge.
- Includes resettable fuses and protection diodes to guarantee a stable and safe power supply.
- Includes LED indicators to indicate correct power supply and transmission status.
- Has SPI pins for connecting a non-Raspberry Pi controller such as an Arduino.
- Software examples available (C and Python).
