Data Acquisition: Serial Port Server vs. Communication Management Machine (Data Acquisition Gateway)

In industrial production environments, it is often necessary to collect operational parameters of devices, such as power, temperature, pressure, and flow, through various sensors. The signal outputs collected are generally 4-20mA/0-10V 485 signals, which cannot be directly read by software platforms. Therefore, they need to be converted into TCP/IP signals. Devices that can achieve this … Read more

Comprehensive Comparison of Communication Protocols IIC and SPI

In today’s low-end digital communication applications, we frequently encounter IIC (Inter-Integrated Circuit) and SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface). The reason is that these two communication protocols are very suitable for short-distance, low-speed communication between chips. Philips (for IIC) and Motorola (for SPI) developed these two standard communication protocols based on different backgrounds and market needs. IIC … Read more
