Introduction Previously, we introduced the basic knowledge of I2C and SPI. In this chapter, we will discuss UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter), which is used for communication between internal and external devices of a computer. Data transmission within a computer is parallel, while data transmission with external devices is often serial. Therefore, a chip is needed … Read more
01 Output Forms of Sensors 1. Digital Output Type Digital output primarily includes three forms: RS232, RS485, and wireless transmission. The specific digital output type is chosen based on the actual communication distance and the complexity of the terrain. RS232 output is generally suitable for short-distance transmission within 15 meters and has weak electromagnetic interference … Read more
Click Tech Training Top, delivering to you daily at 7:30 AM What are RS232, RS485, UART, serial ports, COM ports, USB ports, and TTL? Do you understand their relationships? First, we need to distinguish between timing standards and logic level standards. Timing standards refer to the logical values (0 and 1) corresponding to actual voltage … Read more
Click the card above to follow for more information 1. Why Do We Prefer Serial Communication? When working on microcontroller products, the most commonly used method is serial communication. For any microcontroller peripherals, those with serial port functionality are prioritized, such as Bluetooth modules, WIFI modules, 4G modules, electric meters, and displays. Why do we … Read more
Many students learning embedded systems often feel confused by various protocols and can’t distinguish their functions. Today, I will clarify the five commonly used protocols in embedded systems, packed with useful information. Without further ado, let’s get started! 01 UART Communication Protocol 1. Principle The data packet in serial communication is transmitted from the sending … Read more
PROFIBUS interface is an RS485 serial port, typically using a SUB-D female connector, with the pin definitions as follows: Pin 3 is connected to the signal line B (red) of the PROFIBUS cable, while pin 8 is connected to the signal line A (green). Pins 2 and 7 provide a 24V power supply which can … Read more
The plug and terminal resistor play a very important role in Profibus communication. They are very simple to use and do not require many complex settings; however, due to their simplicity, many engineers overlook some details during use, leading to various communication issues.(1) Structure and Simple Usage of Profibus Plugs Figure 1: Structure of Profibus … Read more
Tip:Click above“Ba Fang Hui PLC Practical Programming Training“↑Follow us for free RS485is a wired transmission, which requires a hardware transmission medium, essentially just two wires are sufficient. The actual signal transmitted over these two wires is the same signal; the sending end splits this signal into two, but at the receiving end, it is restored … Read more
Search on WeChat Technical Training In 1979, Schneider Electric established a bus protocol for industrial sites called the Modbus protocol. Nowadays, many industrial applications using RS485 communication adopt the Modbus protocol. Today, we will explore RS485 communication and the Modbus communication protocol. 1. Introduction In fields such as industrial control, power communication, and smart instruments, … Read more
In industrial control, power communication, and smart instrumentation, data exchange often relies on serial communication. Initially, the RS232 interface was the mainstream choice; however, due to the complexity of industrial sites, various electrical devices generate electromagnetic interference that can lead to signal transmission errors. In 1979, Schneider Electric designed and launched a bus protocol specifically … Read more
