MODBUS Communication Practice: Communication Between Multi-Point Temperature Acquisition Module and Honeywell PKS System (Case Study: Temperature Acquisition Retrofit Project for PVC Plant)

MODBUS Communication Practice: Communication Between Multi-Point Temperature Acquisition Module and Honeywell PKS System (Case Study: Temperature Acquisition Retrofit Project for PVC Plant)

Overview:The implementation method involves connecting field thermocouples to the temperature acquisition module, which connects via RS-485 to a serial server. The serial server converts the RS-485 signal to Modbus TCP protocol, allowing the DCS to collect data from the serial server. Main Tasks: Configuration of the multi-point temperature acquisition module; configuration of the serial server; … Read more

Serial Communication Protocol in C Language for Microcontrollers (Code Sharing)

Serial Communication Protocol in C Language for Microcontrollers (Code Sharing)

In real life, we always need to interact with others and share information. Microcontrollers also need to communicate with various devices. For example, the display instrument in a car needs to know the engine speed and the operating parameters of the motor, so the display instrument must obtain data from the car’s underlying controller. This … Read more

Driving 7-Segment Displays with 74HC164 and 74HC138 Using Serial Communication (Part 2)

Driving 7-Segment Displays with 74HC164 and 74HC138 Using Serial Communication (Part 2)

Using analog serial port to drive74HC164, there is always a slight glow in segments that should not be lit, commonly referred to as ghosting, which is particularly noticeable at night. However, using serial port driving yields much better results; when external light is dim, ghosting is slightly visible but does not significantly affect viewing. This … Read more

How to Distinguish Between Straight and Cross Serial Cables

How to Distinguish Between Straight and Cross Serial Cables

Serial cables are divided into straight-through and crossover types. Straight-through cables are generally used to extend connections between a PC and a device, connecting pins 2, 3, and 5 to pins 2, 3, and 5 respectively. This is because PCs usually have male connectors while devices often have female connectors, making them universally compatible for … Read more

Differences Between RS232 and RS485 Serial Data Interfaces

Differences Between RS232 and RS485 Serial Data Interfaces

Introduction:RS-232 and RS-485 are both industrial serial data interface standards, initially formulated and published by the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA), with RS-232 released in 1962, named EIA-232-E, as an industrial standard to ensure compatibility between products from different manufacturers. To expand its application range, EIA also established the RS-485 standard in 1983, adding multipoint, bidirectional … Read more
