The 16-channel RS485 isolated hub features eight fully electrically isolated RS485 channels, each with an independent RS485 transceiver, ensuring minimal transmission latency across all 16 channels. Complying with the RS485 standard, it supports transparent, protocol-independent RS485 message transmission, making it suitable for a variety of applications, such as Modbus. To connect monitoring devices such as PCs to the network, the 16-channel RS485 isolated hub’s uplink port can be configured as an RS232 port, eliminating the need for an additional RS485-to-RS232 adapter. In the event of a lightning strike or device failure, the affected network segment is isolated, ensuring the normal operation of other segments. This feature significantly improves the reliability of existing RS485 networks and effectively reduces maintenance time.
Each of the 16-channel RS485 isolated hubs features 6kV lightning protection, optical isolation, and an isolation voltage of up to 2.5kV. Each channel also has an independent ground, ensuring that if one RS485 bus is damaged, all other devices on the bus remain protected. Each RS485 port can carry up to 128 devices. Each RS485 port, power supply, and RS232 port also feature 6kV lightning protection. This 16-channel RS485 isolated hub provides a first-line solution, minimizing networking complexity, improving efficiency, protecting communication products, and increasing reliability.
