Differences Between RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485

1. Different Paths, Same Goal RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 all belong to UART, which stands for Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter. They can complete communication using just two signal lines (Rx and Tx); However, due to the different voltage levels used by each, converting from UART to RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 requires a conversion chip like the … Read more

Introduction to RS-232 Serial Port

Introduction to RS-232 Serial Port

Introduction to RS-232 Serial Port Data transmission between computers or between a computer and a terminal typically employs two methods: serial communication and parallel communication. Serial communication is widely adopted due to its lower cost and fewer lines used, especially in remote transmission, which avoids inconsistencies caused by multiple lines. In serial communication, both parties … Read more
