If two modules start to talk at the same time, there needs to be a scheme to detect and handle bus contentions/collisions. There is a similar family of NOMAK cables which has only a common screen for all the pairs (individual pairs in the cable are unshielded). That is to say that the termination of the cable with this impedance gives the cable the appearance of being infinite length, allowing no reflections of the transmitted signal. If you run a data rate of less than 30kBit and don`t need long cables, the termination resistors are probably not required. And, even if the diff-mode impedance is given, the common-mode impedance is never mentioned (on high-performance STP cables, you can hazard a guess - see below). When the transmitter begins to transmit, you monitor to see if what you receive matches what you sent, if it doesn`t, most likely another device was trying to transmit as the same time. There is still the issue of sorting out the message frame, which I guess is the bigger issue right now, however this magical box promises a very user friendly setup interface, so I`ll see what transpires with the rep tomorrow. The control cabinet for this machine is already overstuffed with components that we physically can`t fit a CP341 unit in there!



































Whta I`ve found is a local supplier of Profibus - RS485 adapter units that are small enough to fit inside the hotmelt unit. The master initiates a communications request to a "slave node" by addressing that unit. This is one of the core principles of half/full duplex communications methods. The most significant difference is that more than one slave can talk back to the master. If the outside serial device is RS485 standard, you can attach this hat on top of stickc, therefore, to implement the communication with RS485 device by TTL protocol. According to the EIA-485 standard, RS485 can accommodate up to 32 drivers and 32 receivers on a single 2-wire bus, which allows for reliable communication over long distances. Optimum impedance for RS485 is 120 Ω (expected by the line drivers). In CCTV monitoring, RS485 is mostly used to control the rotary cameras and cameras with automatic zoom. The possibilities for presenting web pages (web Scada) directly from the device for the visualization of the current and old data, and remote control.



































Splitters with optical couplers are used to protect the device connected via a RS485 interface against overvoltage. Thanks to the flexible configuration of the protocol controller plays the role of the integrated access device buffers of different protocols and communication channels through the recorded data. USB to RS232 supports the RS232 protocol, which is used for short-range communication between two devices.5. Q: Which communication interface is better: RS485 or RS232? Each interface has its own pros and cons that determine its application: CAN - Automotive, RS485 / RS232 - Industrial, Ethernet - Consumer Electronics / Server. Mod as a telemetric module has enormous capabilities of data logging and access, using built-in input-output interfaces and communications channels such as Ethernet or GPRS for this purpose. By converting RS485 data signals into Ethernet (TCP or UDP) packets, and vice versa, they enable reliable data transmission to other devices or network server applications. Serial communication also has a deterministic behaviour to avoid collisions of data packets, making it more reliable for a linkage system with many devices. USB0 serial terminal to the rest of the system. 2. the ZT485EEN chip, which transforms conventional serial comms to RS485.



































Finally, if this means that enabling RS485 mode is not required in this configuration, can the FTDI cable be bypassed entirely by using Raspberry Pi`s built-in UARTs combined with a chip like ZT485EEN? The resulting waveform can be described as a positive and negative differential voltage superimposed on a common-mode offset voltage, typically close to VCC/2. The differential transmission between the transmitter and the receiver eliminates the external interference affecting both signal lines. When this happens, you stop any further transmission and either start receiving or monitor the bus for an idle state. The most common topography for this standard is a half-duplex bus structure (allowing the transmission of signals in both directions but not simultaneously). This works because when you switch from a dominate state to recessive, the bus will either return to the recessive state (no collision), or remain in the dominate state due to another receiver holding the line (collision). 12kV contact discharges on the transceiver bus pins without latch-up or damage.
