Product Overview​

ESP32-S3-RS485-CAN is an industrial-grade Wi-Fi wireless communicator based on the ESP32-S3 main controller, supporting peripheral interfaces such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RS485, and CAN. It has built-in protection circuits such as power isolation and optocoupler isolation, making it safe, stable, and more reliable, and is suitable for the AIoT field.

Features​

  • Based on ESP32-S3 microcontroller with Xtensa 32-bit LX7 dual-core processor with frequency up to 240 MHz
  • Integrated 2.4 GHz WiFi and Bluetooth LE dual-mode wireless communication, with superior RF performance
  • Onboard isolated RS485 interface, for connecting to various RS485 Modbus industrial modules or sensors
  • Onboard USB Type-C port for power supply, firmware downloading and debugging, making development more convenient
  • Onboard power supply screw terminal, allows 7~36V DC wide range input
  • Onboard digital isolation to avoid external signal interference with the control chip
  • Onboard integrated power isolation, providing stable isolation voltage, no extra power supply required for the isolated terminal
  • Onboard power supply, RS485 TX/RX indicator and CAN indicator for easy monitoring of the operating status of the device
  • Rail-mounted ABS protective Case, easy to install, safe to use
