This industrial-grade RS485 shield from DFRobot is specially designed to expand two parallel RS485 ports (terminal) with high reliability for LattePanda Alpha and LattePanda Delta. Employing FTDI USB to serial port chip and industrial-grade isolated transceiver module, the shield comes with the characteristics of signal isolation, power isolation, lightning and surge protection, transient impulse voltage resistance, and bus protection so that it supports reliable data transmission and also can effectively protect your LattePanda mainboard for providing a high-reliability connection for point-to-point.
The product employs a stackable connection, making it able to be easily fixed onto LattePanda mainboard by copper columns without blocking the heat dissipation area of the mainboard. It can be safely applied in industrial scenarios.
Plug the shield into LattePanda Alpha & Delta
Application:
Facilitate the development and use of industrial-grade RS232 communication on Windows (compatible with Linux)

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- baud
- Baud is the signalling rate of a serial connection, often used as the speed setting for UART communication. Matching the baud rate matters because both connected devices must use the same setting for readable data.
- RS485
- RS485 is a robust wired serial communication standard often used in factories, farms, and buildings where cables may be long or electrically noisy. It matters because it lets this controller connect to industrial sensors, meters, and control equipment over longer distances than typical hobby serial wiring.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
