FAQ

Q1: Does it require an external power supply for the isolated side?
No. It has built-in isolated power, so the isolated output can work without extra power.

Q2: Can it connect Modbus RTU devices?
Yes—use the RS485 interface and configure baud rate/parity based on your Modbus device requirements.

Q3: How do I wire RS485?
Connect A+ to A, B- to B, and GND if your system requires a reference ground. Enable the optional 120Ω termination at the end of the line if needed.

Q4: What TTL level is supported?
The TTL(UART) interface uses 3.3V logic level. (Do not connect directly to 5V TTL without level shifting.)

Q5: How many RS485 devices can I connect?
Up to 32 nodes typically; for more complex networks or longer distances, use repeaters and proper termination.

Q6: Is there automatic TX/RX switching on RS485?
Yes. It supports zero-delay automatic send/receive switching, simplifying RS485 communication.
