RS485 is a communication standard that should be part of the advanced hardware hacker’s arsenal; it’s not commonly encountered, but powerful exactly when you need it. It’s a physical layer interface ...

ISODA products achieve the host RS-485/232 interface signals isolation to standard analog signal, to control the remote device. ISODA products can be applied to RS-232/RS-485 bus industrial automation ...

Industrial data links requiring the transmission of RS-232 data over long distance, or between multiple RS-232 applications, often use RS-232-to-RS-485 converters. Despite the wide and high signal ...

The most common method for sharing data between devices is via a digital means of communications. Several standard buses implement such methods, with the main differences between them being data rate ...

TI's Thomas Kugelstadt offers a number of technical fixes for RS-485 bus signal polarity correction (POLCOR) in industrial control systems. POLCOR used to be rare. Now, it results from any of a number ...

Robustness and reliability have made RS-485 an industrial workhorse. A minimum differential signal swing of 1.5V and reliable operation over common-mode voltages ranging from -7V to +12V have ...
