Industry isolated communication

ltomi91
ltomi91 over 10 years ago

Dear Everybody!

 

I search the best solution for the following problem.

I want to establish isolated communication between two devices. 2x 8 input and 8 output should be connected (one-way). First think the optocoupler, but it requires a lot of wires, and these devices are in a noisy, industry environment, so necessary the good interface, e.g. RS485. I was looking for any "target" IC, but could not find it.

I attached a picture from this situation.

 

Thank you in advance (and sorry for my english image ) !

    and from a non optical approach, TI has some isolated tranceivers for RS485 for a few $$$ each http://www.ti.com/lit/sg/slyt484a/slyt484a.pdf these provide full galvanic isolation upto about 4KV Either…

    You haven't really told us enough but if you can get away with RS485 speeds why not use a fibre optic link. Plastic fibre and associated parts are quite cheap and easy to use - you would need one twin…

    What are the two devices, what voltge levels are we dealing with and how far apart are they, as Michael has already stated, more information would be very handy to enable us to help you better

    You mention isolation for your serial comms and that is a good idea in an industrial environment. Recently used ADM2582E with good results for an isolated RS485 interface.

    If you really want isolation then you are much better off using plastic fibre rather than RS485 - 10's of kV of isolation, very good EMC, no earth loops/common mode issues.
