RS-232/RS485 computer connectivity |
|
| |
RS232 is used for many purposes, such as connecting
computers to sensors and modems, or for instrument
control. RS232 hardware permits communication at
distances up to 50 ft. RS232 serial interfaces offer
increased functionality, such as high speed baud
rates up to 1 Mbps.
RS485 increases the number of devices from 10 to
32 and defines the electrical characteristics necessary
to ensure adequate signal voltages under maximum
load. With this enhanced multidrop capability, you
can create networks of devices connected to a single
RS485 serial port. The noise immunity and multidrop
capability make RS485 the serial connection of choice
in industrial applications requiring many distributed
devices networked to a PC or other controller for
data collection, HMI, or other operations. RS485
hardware is used for serial communication up to
4000 ft of cable. RS485 serial interfaces offer
increased functionality, such as high-speed baud
rates up to 3 Mbps.
