Differences Between RS-232 and RS-485

Differences Between RS-232 and RS-485

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
