RS 232
RS232 is a popular communications protocol for connecting modem
and data acquisition devices to computer.RS232 can be plugged straight
into the computers serial port [also known as the COM or COMMS port]
examples of data acquisition device are GPS receivers, data loggers and
other measurement instruments.
RS STANDARD
The standard of RS232 was defined to connect a computer to a
modem. Any other used is outside of the standard.
RS232 serial communications used fixed voltage values and generally
allow you to connect to only one device. The fixed voltage signals are
subject to noise and distance problems.
RS 485
RS 485 specifications include the ability to connect to 32 devices.
Modem RS 485 device driver can often exceed this standard. Not all
converters are equal, however. Extensive use of our converters by our
customer has shown our converters to be reliable even when other
converters are not.
FIELDBUS
One of the most important aspects of foundation field bus is its ability
to collect and deliver vast amounts of information. Not only process
variables and control signals. But other types of instrument and
process data as well.
