What is RS485 pinout?

What is RS485 pinout?

RS485 is primarily used in multi-drop configurations that make use of its balanced differential interface. Figures 3 and 4 show an RS485 pinout diagrams for 9 pin DB9 and 25 pin DB25 connectors. As displayed in the RS485 cable pinout, the interface has all signals in differential configurations.

How is RS485 connected?

Ideally an RS485 system consists of a single linear cable (no branches) with 120 ohm resistors connected across the 2 wires at each end of the cable. RS485 can handle speeds of over 10 Mbits per second and line lengths of over 1 km.

How many wires are in RS485?

RS485 FULL-DUPLEX (4 WIRES) In this mode two pairs of wires are used. Data from the RS485 converter to the networked devices are transmitted through one pair, and the other pair carries data from the devices to the RS485 converter.

Can DB9 connector pins?

PCI-CAN, PXI-8461, USB-8473, and USB-8473s hardware have a 9-pin male D-SUB (DB9) connector for each port. The 9-pin D-SUB connector follows the pinout recommended by CiA DS 102….

Pinout for 9-Pin D-SUB Connector
D-SUB Pin Signal Description
2 CAN_L CAN_L bus line
3 V- CAN reference ground
4 No Connection

What is RS485 port?

What is RS-485? RS-485 is an industrial specification that defines the electrical interface and physical layer for point-to-point communication of electrical devices. The RS-485 standard allows for long cabling distances in electrically noisy environments and can support multiple devices on the same bus.

Is RS485 bidirectional?

RS-485 is a bidirectional, half-duplex standard featuring multiple “bused” drivers and receivers, in which each driver can relinquish the bus. It meets all RS-422 specifications, but is more robust including, for example, a higher receiver-input impedance and wider common-mode range (-7V to +12V).

Which signaling technique is used in RS485?

Both RS485 and RS422 use balanced differential lines for communication, usually twisted pairs of wires.

Does RS485 need common ground?

RS485 is a differential signal so no common ground is required. Wikipedia says: “Connection of a third wire between the source and receiver may be done to limit the common mode voltage that can be impressed on the receiver inputs.”

Is RS485 serial or parallel?

RS232, RS422, RS423, and RS485 are all essentially physical layer protocols. They are all serial communication protocols and are ubiquitous device interfaces.
