Hello: I need to get a RS485 multidrop network working with wireless XBEE link. Does anyone have any schematics with the connection of the 485 transceiver to the XBEE module ?
Regards,
Matias.
hmm. SFE sells UART to RS485
I mean connecting RS485 transceiver to the xbee. The board you pointed replaces the xbee in that design.

The XBee has a serial port (UART). There are somewhat expensive devices that do part of the RS485 protocol using a UART connection. The bare bones RS485 interface chip push all the protocol work back into whatever drives the UART, i.e., the XBee in this case. So you’d need to get into complicated software to do so, and likely put that code on a microprocessor that stands between the XBee and the RS485.
Yes, that’s what I was trying to avoid, but it seems to be no other solution. Thank you
Any other schematics?I cannot find these items…
