Model TS485 RS-485 Serial Communications Module

The Model TS485 is a serial communications module utilizing the RS-485 standard, designed for robust data transmission over long distances and in electrically noisy industrial environments. It enables devices like sensors, transmitters, or controllers to communicate efficiently over differential twisted-pair wiring, supporting multi-drop configurations. The module provides reliable signal integrity, termination options, and possibly galvanic isolation, making it suitable for networked instrumentation, process monitoring, or SCADA systems.

Key Features:

RS-485 differential serial interface for long-distance, reliable communication

Supports multi-drop (multi-node) network configurations

Robust against electrical noise / EMI (may include isolation or filtering)

Proper termination and biasing options to prevent reflections and data errors

Compact module size for easy integration into panels or enclosures

Compatible with standard protocol layers (Modbus, etc.) depending on firmware
