Product description: Gravity - RS485 to UART signal converter - DFRobot DFR0845
Module converting transmission signal from RS485 protocol to UART serial interface. It has a built-in TDH541S485H chip. It is compatible with most controllers, including Arduino. It features high transmission speed (up to 1 Mbps), stable and reliable operation, as well as high performance and safety, which is ensured by isolation of power supply and TVS lines. The converter can be used with various industrial sensors, control devices or applications that require conversion of RS485 signal to UART interface.
Product is compatible with Arduino!
