RS-485 Framework Expansion Card
This is an Framework laptop expansion card allowing for RS-485 communication.
This Framework laptop expansion card will show up on your system as a serial device and allow for non-isolated RS-485 communication up to 3,000,800 baud rate.
This board employs the FT232R as its UART chip, and consequently, it supports all the baud rates this chip can handle up to 500,000 baud which is the limit of isolator chip used. The table below lists the standard baud rates.
