Arduino MKR 485 Shield ASX00004

Arduino MKR 485 Shield is designed to allow the Arduino MKR series of development boards to connect to industrial automation systems using the RS 485 protocol. The MKR 485 Shield can also be used to extend the serial wired communication over much a longer range. It supports Half Duplex and Full Duplex, with or without biasing and termination, and master/slave configuration. The MKR 485 shield is the ultimate expansion that allows MKR boards to connect to almost any legacy industrial system, such as industrial PLCs, controllers, drives, and HMIs. Old industrial systems (e.g., machinery, heating systems, and conveyors) can to turned into IoT devices through a serial connection using the MKR 485.
