A RS485-HUB-8P is an industrial-grade isolated RS485 hub that can expand 8-ch RS485 slave ports through 1-ch RS485 master port. It can realize relay, extension, and isolation functions of the RS485 network, with a screw terminal for power input. The rail-mount case design makes it easy to install and cost-effective. It is suitable for applications like data acquisition, IoT gateway, safety & security IoT, and intelligent instrument monitoring. It is compliant with the RS485 Standard.
The isolated RS485 master port can be connected to the RS485 host device, and the extended 8-Ch isolated RS485 port can be connected to various RS485 slave devices, such as RS485 sensors, etc. The built-in photoelectric isolation protection circuit can effectively isolate RS485 master and slave devices to avoid damage from ground potential difference between devices. It is anti-electrostatic, lightning-proof, and anti-surge, making it suitable for industrial environments with high reliability and safety requirements.
Generally, RS485 requires a hand-in-hand connection. If a star connection (master station as the center) is required, this RS485 hub can effectively isolate the connection interference between multiple RS485 devices.
