Overview

The BB-485OPDR is an optically isolated RS-422/485 isolated line repeater that can be used to isolate a piece of equipment from the rest of the network. As a repeater, it extends the distance of an existing network an additional 1.2 km (4000 ft.) and expands it beyond the typical 32-node limitation. Data signals and the power inputs connect to the terminal block. 600W surge suppression ensures that the connected equipment is protected even in the harshest of environments. 2-wire RS-485, 4-wire RS-485 and RS-422 are supported. The repeater operates on externally sourced 10 to 30 VDC power. The enclosure has a DIN rail mount that is designed to fit easily on a standard 35mm rail.
