Differences Between Serial Port, COM Port, TTL, RS-232, and RS-485

Differences Between Serial Port, COM Port, TTL, RS-232, and RS-485

1. The serial port and COM port refer to the physical interface form (hardware). TTL, RS-232, and RS-485 refer to the level standards (electrical signals). 2. When connecting devices, usually only GND, RX, and TX are connected. Vcc or +3.3V power lines are generally not connected to avoid conflicts with the power supply of the … Read more

Differences Between RS-232 and RS-485

Differences Between RS-232 and RS-485

Ke Ruida Nationwide Service Hotline: 400-666-1916 1. Different Transmission Methods. RS-232 uses an unbalanced transmission method, known as single-ended communication. In contrast, RS-485 employs balanced transmission, i.e., differential transmission. 2. Different Transmission Distances. RS-232 is suitable for communication between local devices, with a transmission distance generally not exceeding 20 meters. RS-485, on the other hand, … Read more

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

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
