MAX485 RS485 Transceiver Module
—The MAX485 module converts a microcontroller's serial port to RS485, a differential bus that carries data reliably over hundreds of metres of twisted pair.
Specifications
- MAX485 transceiver
- Half-duplex RS485 over two wires
- Range up to about 1200m at low baud rates
- Up to 32 devices on one bus
- 5V supply
- Direction control via a GPIO pin
What you can build with the MAX485 RS485 Transceiver Module
- Modbus sensors and industrial equipment
- Long cable runs between sheds and buildings
- Multi-drop sensor networks on a farm
- Connecting energy meters and inverters
Compatibility
Works with Arduino, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi over serial. RS485 is what to use when a plain serial link is too short or too noisy — the differential pair rejects interference that would corrupt TTL serial.
Shipping
Dispatched from New Zealand with courier delivery nationwide, including rural addresses. Prices are in New Zealand dollars.
