Description

MOD-RS485-ISO is smart RS485 transceiver. Data flow can be controlled via I2C bus.

Leds

The device has two leds:

  • Green - Indicates TX channel is active
  • Red - Indicates RX channel is active

By default both channels are active, so both leds should be on.

Registers

Modes of operation

The device has 2 modes of operation:

  • Pass - What comes in that comes out, no mater modulation, baudrate, etc. This is the default mode of operation.
  • Bridge - TX and RX pins are disconnected and all communication is done by the I2C bus. Writing byte to tx register will send it to RS485 bus. The baudrate is set to 115200.


Additionally you can disable data that goes from/to RS-485 bus. This can be done only by sending I2C message to the board. By default both directions are enabled.

Older Firmware releases

Latest firmware is available at the main page of the device. In the wiki one can only find older firmware, that still might be helpful. The projects listed below are no longer officially supported. The best practice is to use the EXACT same compiler as mentioned and in most cases the exact same IDE version as mentioned.
