The HUB5X485 distributes RS485 links so as to interconnect PLC’s when the network is spread-out and has a star-like structure.
Each serial port is isolated.
The data is recalibrated in order that each RS485 link keeps its maximum range.
The local port is a non isolated RS232 / RS485.
Multiple hubs can be linked by interconnecting the RS485 links.
The data is retransmitted from one serial link to all the others so that it is made compatible with master/ slave protocols (MODBUS, UNITEL-WAY, DH485, SYSMACWAY), as well as multi-master protocols (PROFIBUS DP).
