On-Demand Webinar

Electrical Fast Transients (EFT) can damage the RS-485 bus transceivers of industrial networks. In RS-485 networks, the transceivers are connected in parallel, so damage to a single bus node can bring down the entire network. The cost of network downtime is the total cost of lost productivity, lost revenue, recovery costs, and intangible costs associated with downtime. It is currently estimated at about $340,000/hour (source Gartner Inc.).

In this webinar, we will briefly review EFTs and the issues they can cause, and then look at how Renesas' RAA78815x transceivers have the industry's highest EFT immunity, and are thus the perfect solution for EFT issues.
