Understanding the Differences Between RS232 and RS485 Communication Buses

Overview of RS232 The RS-232 interface complies with the serial data communication interface standard established by the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA). The original designation is EIA-RS-232 (abbreviated as 232, RS232). It is widely used for connecting computer serial interface peripherals. This includes connection cables as well as mechanical, electrical, signal, and transmission processes. The RS-232-C … Read more

Connecting Inverters' PU Interface to Computers with RS-232C Interface

Connecting Inverters’ PU Interface to Computers with RS-232C Interface Since most computers do not come with RS-485 interfaces, and many computers are equipped with RS-232C interfaces (serial ports, also known as COM ports), an RS-232C to RS-485 interface converter can be used to connect computers with RS-232C interfaces to the PU interface.

Siemens PROFIBUS Terminal Resistors

by
Siemens PROFIBUS Terminal Resistors

When transmitting voltage signals over an electrical network, if the impedance at the end of the transmission line suddenly becomes infinite, the voltage signal will cause reflections at that point. The reflected signal superimposes on the normal signal, affecting communication. To eliminate such reflections, a terminal resistor that matches the characteristic impedance of the cable … Read more
