General Description:

The RS485HUB-Rev B is a 4-port automatic RS485 repeater/hub (non-isolated) with an RS232 port. The unit can be used to expand RS485 serial communications networks by increasing the maximum distance and/or number of nodes on a network. Larger networks can be implemented by cascading units. This repeater is a true port-to-port repeater (any data received at one port is transmitted to the remaining ports). Each port has its own LED indicators, termination jumper and an RXEN (receive enable) jumper. Bias is fixed with 620 Ohms of pull-up and pull-down resistance to hold the data lines in a known state when the data lines are inactive. The built in RS232 port allows easy connection to a PC. Each RS485 port on the RS485HUB hub will support up to 32 full-load RS485 devices. The SP485EEP transceiver IC, employed on the RS485HUB, can communicate at speeds of 5Mbps+, however, the SP232EEP (RS232) IC is only rated to 115.2Kbps and, RS485 is limited to 115.2Kbps@4000ft. The unit has built-in current limit resistors on each RS485 port that provides excellent transient protection. The operating temperature range is -40C to +85C, and 10%-90% relative humidity (non-condensing). Unit has an on-board switching regulator and will operate from 9-35VDC. Optional enclosure, 12VDC-SPS "wall wort" power supply, and RS232 cables, are available.
