This design guide discusses how to design RS-485 interface circuits. It covers the necessity of balanced transmission line standards and provides an example of process control design. The article also discusses line loading, signal attenuation, failure protection, and current isolation under different headings. 1. Why Balanced Transmission Line Standards Are Needed The focus of this … Read more
(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

The main differences between RS-232 and RS-485 are: 1. The transmission methods are different. RS-232 uses an unbalanced transmission method, known as single-ended communication. In contrast, RS-485 uses balanced transmission, which is a differential transmission method. 2. The transmission distances are different. RS-232 is suitable for communication between local devices, with a transmission distance generally … Read more

Today, let’s talk about the RS-485 bus. RS-485 is also a widely used communication interface. This article will discuss the key points; it is a bit long, about 5000 words. History … Read more
RS-485 Bus Overview When the communication distance is required to be from tens to thousands of meters, the RS-485 serial bus standard is widely used. RS-485 uses balanced transmission and differential reception, thus it has the ability to suppress common-mode interference. Additionally, the bus transceiver has high sensitivity and can detect voltages as low as … Read more
01 【Overview of RS-485】 RS-485, like RS-232, is a serial communication standard. The current standard name is TIA485/EIA-485-A, but it is commonly referred to as the RS-485 standard. RS-485 is widely used in industries such as automation, automotive, and building management. The RS-485 bus overcomes the shortcomings of RS-232’s short communication distance and low speed. … Read more
