This TTL to RS485 converter converts the TTL signal into a differential RS485 signal for interface converting, expanding nodes, and long-distance communication. Using the RICE features (Relay, Isolate, Convert, and Expand) it does the following -
Relay - Communication distance of up to 1.2km
Isolate - Power and signal isolation
Convert - TTL to RS485 bi-directional conversion
Expand - RS485 can be expanded up to 32 nodes
It has multiple protection features to make it safe and stable, including isolated voltage, strong anti-interference, lightning-proof diodes and a TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) that acts as a diversion of power when there are surges or spikes that could damage equipment downstream.
On top of that, it also comes with rail mount support, so you can easily combine multi-rail-mounted serial servers together. This is one converter you don't want to miss out on!
We also have a TTL to RS422 converter, and you can find it here.
For those who are unaware of the difference, the RS422 can have up to 10 transmitter-receiver pairs present on the line at one time, whereas the RS485 can have up to 32.
Features
Compatible with TTL/RS485 standard, converting the TTL signal into differential RS485 signal, supports half-duplex communication
Compatible with 3.3V ~ 5V TTL signal level, provides anti-reverse and over-voltage protection for power supply interface
Onboard unibody power supply isolation, provides stable isolated voltage and needs no extra power supply for the isolated terminal
Onboard unibody digital isolation, allows signal isolation, high reliability, strong anti-interference, low power consumption
Onboard TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor), effectively suppresses surge voltage and transient spike voltage in the circuit, lightning-proof & anti
electrostatic
Onboard resettable fuse and protection diodes, ensure the current/voltage stable outputs, provide over-current/over-voltage protection, improve shock
resistance
Onboard RS485 output terminal 120R resistor, enabled/disabled via a switch
Industrial rail-mount ABS case design, small in size, easy to install, and cost-effective

TTL to RS485 Galvanic Isolated Converter
Nicly built, and at a reasonable price. One of the problems with RS485, is that it's not electrically isolated as standard. Ethernet (RJ45) is. There are plenty of low cost RS485 modules out there, but few of them are isolated, and those that are usually carry a high premium. So this was a nice find, and works great. Oh, and also nice to have a switchable terminator. Usually these are either absent or you have to get your soldering iron out. Top marks.
