In-Depth Explanation of RS-485

In-Depth Explanation of RS-485

(1) Introduction RS-485 is a balanced transmission standard for serial communication approved by the Electronic Industries Alliance in the United States in 1983. It only specifies the electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers without defining a protocol; therefore, many higher-level interface standards refer to RS-485 at the physical layer, such as Modbus, Profibus, etc. (2) … Read more

Testing Items and Methods for RS-485

Testing Items and Methods for RS-485

Any communication interface testing includes two parts: basic electrical characteristic testing and stress testing. RS-485 is no exception. The common tests for RS-485 primarily focus on electrical characteristic testing and stress testing. The first part: Electrical Testing. For electrical testing, we generally combine some parameters from the chip manual for testing. The following figure shows … Read more
