BFH Click the blue text to follow us↑↑↑↑ The RS-485 interface forms a half-duplex network, typically using a two-wire system, often employing shielded twisted pair for transmission. This wiring method allows a maximum of 32 nodes to be connected on the same bus topology.Initially, data was output as analog signals for simple process quantities, later … Read more
This article introduces the basic concepts of the serial communication protocols RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485, including baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity bits, and handshaking information. 1. What is Serial Port? The concept of serial communication is quite simple. Serial ports send and receive bytes one bit at a time. Although it is slower … 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
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

RS-485, with its excellent ability to resist common mode noise, is suitable for long-distance signal transmission, especially widely used in industrial environments. This article introduces the working principle of RS-485 and the EMI risks it faces (electrostatic interference, electrical fast transient bursts, and surge voltage), and discusses several EMC solutions that help RS-485 cope with … Read more
With the popularization of the concept of “carbon neutrality”, industries such as photovoltaics, wind power, and energy storage are once again ushering in a boom. As a commonly used communication interface in these industries, RS-485 often requires additional protection circuits to ensure stable communication. This article will introduce a protection circuit scheme for multi-node environments. … Read more
