Guide to using RS232 to RS485 Converter
You probably have heard of RS232 which is a serial communication method between computers and devices , but have you heard of the RS485 communication? The great thing about standards is there are so many to choose from. It holds true for electrical interface standards as well. As serial-data standards tend to evolve separately within particular industries, we thus have more standards than we should. Perhaps the most successful serial-data standard for PC and telecom applications is the RS-232. Similarly, the RS-485 and RS-422 are among the most successful standards for industrial applications, however, it is often necessary to communicate between the standards. What is RS485? ● The RS485 is also known as TIA-485 (-A) or EIA-485 is a serial communication method for computers and devices similar to the RS232. ● Not only is RS485 a single device-to-device interface, but it is also a communication bus that is used to form a simple network of multipl...
