High-quality, low-capacitance data cables have impedances specific for RS-232/422 and RS-485 communication applications. The 24-awg tinned copper conductors are made as twisted pairs to reduce ...

Ratified in the early 80's as a new balanced transmission standard, RS-485 has emerged as the industry's seemingly eternal interface workhorse. Much literature has been written on the subject since, ...

AutomationDirect’s high-quality, low-capacitance data cables are designed with impedances specific for RS-232/422 and RS-485 communication applications in industrial environments. The 24 AWG tinned ...

Electronic energy meters steadily are replacing the historical, electromechanical meters in industrial plants, commercial buildings and domestic communities. These new type of meters can record energy ...

We have previously written about various industrial Raspberry Pi systems and gateways that come with RS-485 built in, but we ...

The RS-485 is a popular serial communications standard that’s widely used in industry. It’s flexible, with the ability to achieve high data rates on long bus cables. The standard is relatively easy to ...

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 ...

Dozens of serial data interfaces are used today. Most have been developed for specific applications. A few have become universal, such as I 2 C, CAN, LIN, SPI, Flex, MOST, and I 2 S. Then there’s ...
