Phoenix Contact PSM-ME Series Signal Conditioner, RS-485 Input, RS-485 Output, 24V ac/dc Supply, ATEX

Boost the communication strength of your equipment's control unit with this repeater from Phoenix Contact. It amplifies and retransmits incoming signals from network devices like routers and switches, extending their range to cover a larger distance. The unit supports RS-485 2-wire bus systems that depend on the UART/NRZ coding format, so it's the right choice for half-duplex networks. With pluggable screw connectors, assembling it on your machine is child's play and only needs a simple fastener.
This piece of kit is an energy-saving solution as it loses only 2.16W of power to heat during operation. It accommodates wire sizes ranging between 24 and 12AWG, making it a versatile device. Delivering a transmission length up to 1200m, this is your go-to for large-scale projects. PA housing provides wear and impact resistance that's useful in harsh industrial settings. You'll find repeaters like this used in robotics and automation systems.
