Description
The Dual-channel RS485 Expansion Hat equips your Raspberry Pi with two robust serial communication interfaces for industrial and field automation. Designed with comprehensive signal isolation and surge suppression, it provides students, makers, and engineers with dependable noise-resistant data transmission. It is ideal for long-distance multi-drop networking, Modbus communication, and smart monitoring systems.
Dual isolated RS485 channels
Powered by the CH432T serial chip and dual TP75176E transceivers, this board delivers two independent communication channels. Built-in electrical and signal isolation eliminates ground loops and suppresses common-mode interference during long-range differential signalling.
Industrial-grade circuit protection
The expansion HAT incorporates power supply isolation, TVS diodes, and lightning and surge protectors. These protective stages shield your connected Raspberry Pi against unexpected voltage spikes and harsh environmental conditions.
Clear status indicators and pluggable wiring
Wiring is made straightforward using 5.08-3P pluggable terminal blocks paired with onboard 120-ohm terminal resistors to prevent signal reflections. Onboard LEDs provide instant diagnostic feedback with a red power indicator, blue TX status, and green RX activity.
Broad compatibility and applications
Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B+, 4B, and 5 boards, the module includes a four-piece copper column and screw mounting kit for secure installation. It is well suited for agricultural IoT, warehouse monitoring, lighting automation, and security access control systems.
