Banner Engineering's S25GI galvanic isolator protects RS485 and Modbus RTU communication networks from electromagnetic interference (EMI), ground loops, and power surges.
RS485 and Modbus RTU protocols, still widely used in industry, can remain vulnerable to electrical noise and other interference. Banner Engineering, with its S25GI isolator developed for this need, protects signals and ensures reliable data transfer between control systems and devices.
### Advantages of the S25GI Galvanic Isolator
The S25GI can be easily integrated in-line with its robust IP67-rated connectors. Its compact design saves space in the panel while preventing interference from VFDs and high-voltage equipment. Its integrated design allowing power pass-through and flexible mounting options offer convenience for machine upgrades and network expansions.
Ground loops can cause problems in signal transmission by creating electrical potential differences due to different devices having different grounding paths. Galvanic isolators like the S25GI prevent such interference by isolating communication signals and preventing potential hardware damage.
### Banner Engineering S25GI Features
- Supported Protocols: RS485 and Modbus RTU
- Protection Class: IP67
- Mounting: Robust two-sided connectors for serial connection
- Power Pass-Through Current: 200 mA
- Application: Single-point protection for sensors or network protection at the communication hub
- Installation: In-line mounting, does not take up space in the panel
Adding new components to old machines can sometimes be difficult because old systems may not be compatible with new devices. For example, adding a VFD to an old machine can cause problems with Modbus RTU communication. The S25GI isolator minimizes such problems, ensuring seamless integration of new devices. This allows for a reliable communication network to be established without the need for additional cabling or panel space.
