RAK Wireless WisBlock RS485 Interface Module
Overview
The RAK5802 is a WisBlock interface that expands the WisBlock system with an industrial RS485 data transmission interface. A ready-to-use SW library and tutorial make it easy to connect any sensor that uses the RS485 interface.
The RAK5802 supports an RS485 interface and has a battery and 3.3V power output to supply sensors. In addition, an I2C interface connection is available on the crimp terminal.
In combination with the RAK4631 WisBlock Core, the RAK5802 offers the solution for an interface to industrial sensors and actuators that support the RS485 interface. This interface is the bridge between such sensors and LoRaWan® communication, LoRa® point-to-point connections or BLE.
The RAK5802 is ideal for battery-powered applications because of its low power consumption. In addition, the WisBlock system allows the module to be switched off completely to further reduce the system's power consumption.
