Solutions for asynchronous serial communication between systems or subsystems include many possible interface implementations – for example, RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, controller area network (CAN), ...

While the RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serial standards are hardly new, combining them over a single connector creates challenges unforeseen when these standards were first drafted years ago.

The SP335 advanced multiprotocol transceiver from Exar Corporation supports RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422 serial standards. At 5 x 5mm 2, the SP335 is less than half the size of a comparable discrete ...

The most common method for sharing data between devices is via a digital means of communications. Several standard buses implement such methods, with the main differences between them being data rate ...

What is the difference between RS-422 and RS-485 and do you know when to use which one? How many devices can you connect to an RS-422 or RS-485 network? Can you mix RS-422 and RS-485 devices on the ...

Frontline Test Equipment has released Serialtest, a PC-based serial communications protocol analyzer. In response to customer needs, Serialtest contains decoders for Modbus RTU and ASCII, Serial PPP, ...

I'm a bit out of my league on this one. I need to take realtime data from a serial source and display it in a "retail display" type of fashion. My PLC sends data out via RS232 (I also have RF485 \ ...

New products offer up to 32Mbps data rates at extreme temperatures, support for wide power supply range, IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection, and IEC61000-4-4 electrical fast transient (EFT) protection ...
