RS485 optical transceiver
Originally developed for communication purposes onto analytical balances, these RS485 transceivers offer communication without mechanical contact.
Key features:
- True contact-less communication
- Galvanically isolated (cuts ground loops)
- Half-duplex repeater, couples two physical RS-485 Buses, i.e. multiple devices can communicate on either side
- Transmission verified to 19'200 bps (can be increased using an amplifier stage on the board)
- Compact size of 20 x 31 mm (can be reduced using multilayer PCB and SMD infrared emitter)
- Each board contains transmitter & receiver, which makes them transceivers
- Communication via infrared LED (visible light possible)
- Transceivers my be distanced by up to x mm (at horizontal alignment)
- Powered by 5 V supply
