Equipped with galvanic isolation and automatic switching of the transmit/receive direction.
Most RS485/RS422 interface drivers provide data transmission up to 1.2 km and limit the number of the connected devices up to 31. When more devices need to be connected or they are located at distance more than 1.2 km, the REP485DR-C repeater can be applied.
REP485DR-C acts as a bi-directional transmitter / receiver to the RS485/422 line. The transmission direction is controlled automatically.
With REP485DR-C a new branch can be created in the RS485/RS422 highway, which increases the number of the connected devices by 31, and adds another 1.2 km to the line length.
One more advantage can be the ability to establish a connection between two branches with different connection modes (for example, four-wire to two-wire).
Galvanically separated from each other, the two branches allow data exchange in environments with high level of electromagnetic interference and difference in the potentials of the masses of the communicating devices.
The REP485DR-C design makes it convenient for industrial mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail.
