The Official Arduino MKR 485 Shield is specifically engineered to enable Arduino MKR series development boards to interface with industrial automation systems leveraging the RS485 protocol. This shield is also suitable for extending serial wired communication over significantly longer distances than standard UART connections, making it indispensable for robust industrial applications.
It offers comprehensive support for Half Duplex and Full Duplex communication, including options for biasing and termination, and accommodates both master and slave configurations. The MKR 485 Shield serves as a critical expansion, allowing MKR boards to seamlessly integrate with a wide array of legacy industrial systems such as PLCs, controllers, drives, and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs). By facilitating a serial connection via the MKR 485, older industrial assets like machinery, heating systems, and conveyor belts can be effectively transformed into IoT-enabled devices.
