Advantages of the product

Strong Anti - interference Ability

The differential signal transmission used by RS485 provides strong resistance to electromagnetic interference. This allows it to operate reliably in environments with high levels of electrical noise, ensuring stable data transmission in industrial settings.

Multi - device Connectivity

Supports multiple devices to communicate on a single bus. This multi - drop capability is useful for distributed control systems, where many devices need to be connected and communicate with each other, reducing the complexity of wiring and network setup.

common problem

How many devices can be connected to an RS485 bus?

Typically, an RS485 bus can support up to 32 devices. However, with the use of repeaters or special drivers, the number of connected devices can be increased, depending on the specific application requirements.
RS485 is more suitable for medium - speed data transfer. While it can support data rates up to a few Mbps, it is not as fast as some other high - speed communication standards. But its reliability and long - distance capabilities make it ideal for industrial applications.
In an RS485 network, devices are daisy - chained together using two wires (A and B). The positive terminal of one device is connected to the positive terminal of the next device, and the negative to the negative, following a proper grounding scheme for stable operation.
