Reflecting the time consuming nature of developing RS485 interfaces, Analog Devices and Bourns have collaborated to create the first certified evaluation board that protects against emc events. Called ...

Cranston, RI—Electro Standards Laboratories (ESL) has released its Model 4010 bi-directional interface device that converts RS-232 level data signals to valid RS-485 levels, and RS-485 level data ...

In a recent post we interfaced a small DMX RGB LED Par Light with an Arduino Uno through a MAX485 module. In this post we will learn how to work with a compact USB to RS-485 Converter Module. This ...

RS-232 was the PC serial communications standard for many years. Hardware and software support for this simple, yet effective, interface was included on every PC made until it was eventually replaced ...

RS485 is a communication standard that should be part of the advanced hardware hacker’s arsenal; it’s not commonly encountered, but powerful exactly when you need it. It’s a physical layer interface ...

Dozens of serial data interfaces are used today. Most have been developed for specific applications. A few have become universal, such as I 2 C, CAN, LIN, SPI, Flex, MOST, and I 2 S. Then there’s ...

Guest columnist Ian Doyle, product line manager for semiconductors at Bourns, describes how to provide suitable circuit protection for RS-485 ports. RS-485 is one of the most common interface ...

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. (SEL) has released the SEL-2886 EIA-232 to EIA-485 interface converter. The converter meets many different EIA-485 connection requirements. The SEL-2886 is ...

Interface, without electrical isolation, for extending a RS 485 network. It can be integrated, for example, in every ACS-8 basic unit or in each time recording terminal. Model 026693 available as ...
