Designed specifically for the harsh environments of industrial sites, the SC1M5-4S5 active isolated RS485 hub is ideal for applications requiring high reliability and safety. Its photoelectric isolation feature electrically decouples the RS485 master and slave devices, protecting them from damage caused by ground potential differences, static electricity, lightning strikes, or surges. Furthermore, it prevents ground loops—which can arise from ground potential differences between devices—from damaging the RS485 equipment.

Key Functions:

1.Isolation: Effectively isolates the master and slave segments of an RS485 network.
2.Relaying: Extends the communication distance of an RS485 network.
3.Expansion: Expands one RS485 port into four, allowing for a significant increase in the number of RS485 devices within the network.

Technical Features:

1.Provides 2500V voltage isolation between the RS485 master port and the slave ports.
2.Supports up to 32 slave stations across the RS485 master and slave ports.
3.Equipped with a rear-mounted slot for DIN-rail installation.
4.Supports a wide input voltage range of 9–24V.
5.Includes an RS485 polarity reversal indicator: the CH1–CH4 status LEDs will remain lit if the A and B wires are connected in reverse.
