Waveshare Isolated RS485 CAN HAT (B) for Raspberry Pi

Description

The Waveshare Isolated RS485 CAN HAT (B) is engineered to provide Raspberry Pi users with robust, reliable, and isolated industrial communication capabilities. This HAT features dual-channel RS485 and a single-channel CAN interface, making it an ideal solution for applications requiring secure data exchange in electrically noisy environments.

Equipped with an MCP2515 controller for CAN and an SC16IS752 UART expansion chip coupled with SP3485 transceivers for RS485, the HAT ensures high-performance communication. Its integrated unibody power and digital isolation protect the Raspberry Pi from voltage spikes, ground loops, and electrical interference. Furthermore, the wide 8-28V DC input range not only powers the HAT but can also supply power to the connected Raspberry Pi, simplifying power management in deployed systems. Onboard protections such as TVS, resettable fuses, and protection diodes ensure system stability and longevity.
