Do you want to add serial communication to your device using the RS-485 protocol? The Shield MKR 485 offers the industrial connectivity you need.
Thanks to this shield, you can now connect your MKR board to all industrial systems that use the RS 485 protocol. The Shield MKR 485 is the ultimate extension, which enables MKR boards to connect with almost every older industrial system, such as industrial PLCs, controllers, drivers and HMIs. Old industrial systems (e.g. machines, heaters and conveyor belts) can be converted into IoT devices via a serial connection with the MKR 485. The Shield is based on THE MAXIM MAX3157 and offers half / full duplex . Standard mode: Half duplex
Protocol CAN-Bus
Interface Serial
operating voltage of the circuit 3.3 V
transceiver MAXIM MAX3157 (data sheet)
buck converter Texas Instruments TPS54232 (data sheet)
Vin (screw connection) 7 V - 24 V
Vin (head) 5 V
compatibility MKR size
Switchable onboard terminating resistor
Operating mode isolated half/full duplex (switchable)
