General Description:

The ICS485 "SPIDER" is an automatic repeater that expands an RS-485 serial communication network by increasing its maximum distance and number of nodes. The repeater connects TEN RS-485 lines and transfers data in both directions on each line. On receiving data from one line, the repeater automatically regenerates and retransmits the data on the other lines. Data is transferred at the bit level so all formats are supported and with nearly no delays. Each of the 10 lines has it's own set of control jumpers that can be used to manually enable it's RX and/or TX capabilities, adjust the bias and add termination. Protection for the overall network is provided through isolation on each of the lines.

For even greater flexability, Communications on the board can also be functionally split in half, by removing two jumpers. This turns the unit into a double, 5 channel repeater. All the repeater lines and controller circuitry can be powered by a single supply with an output in the range of 9 to 35VDC at 5 watts max.
