RainbowLink-V2 compact USB-to-serial converter features 12V output, dual TTL, isolated RS-485 and RS-232 interfaces

DFRobot's RainbowLink-V2 USB-to-serial converter features four independent channels, namely one isolated RS-485, one isolated RS-232, and two TTL interfaces usable simultaneously. The compact tool also converts 5V provided from the host's USB interface to 12V/800mA, 5V/2A, and 3.3V/200mA outputs, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter. RainbowLink-V2 (TEL0190) specifications: USB - 1x USB Type-C port for power and adata Serial 2x TTL (3.3V) via headers 1x fully isolated RS485 channel via lever terminal 1x fully isolated RS232 channel via lever terminal Baud Rate - 2400 to 128000 bps Misc 3x Power LEDs for 3.3V, 5V, and 12V 4x Link LEDs for TTL 1/2, RS232, and RS485 12AWG - 22AWG wires supported on lever-type spring terminals Built-in short-circuit protection and overcurrent protection (but users are still recommended to avoid short-circuiting to prevent damage) Input voltage - 5V via USB-C port Output voltage 3.3V up to 200mA via header 5V up

Industrial RS-485/Modbus Raspberry Pi HAT works with OpenPLC, supports 7V-32V DC input

We have previously written about various industrial Raspberry Pi systems and gateways that come with RS-485 built in, but we had yet to cover a dedicated RS-485 Raspberry Pi HAT. To fill this gap, EngineElectronicAccessories, a developer based in Sweden, has introduced the "Industrial RS485 / Modbus HAT" designed for industrial automation, monitoring, and the OpenPLC open-source PLC suite. The board features an onboard RS-485 transceiver with TVS diode protection and supports long-distance communication over the RS-485 standard. It uses the Pi’s hardware UART interface and includes Tx/Rx LEDs for diagnostics. The board also accepts 7V to 32V DC input, so you can power both the HAT and the Raspberry Pi directly from a standard 24V rail, eliminating the need for a separate USB power supply in a control cabinet. Industrial RS-485/ Modbus HAT specifications: Compatibility – All Raspberry Pi boards with 40-pin GPIO header (Pi 3, Pi 4, Pi
