Next-Generation Embedded Components Are Optimized for Industrial and Building Automation Applications

Neuron® 5000 Processor with RS-485 Transceivers
RS-485 Transceivers have been around for a long time and have been used in conjunction with a processor to implement an RS-485 network in a variety of control network applications, including building automation, POS networks and terminals, access control, industrial process control and utility meters. Now, Echelon’s Neuron 5000 processor can be combined with the industry standard RS-485 transceiver to build a simple yet powerful embedded control network. Faster and smaller than previous Neuron Chip designs, the Neuron 5000 Processor lets you develop much more cost-effective applications. Find out more.
