What is RS232 and What is it used for? realpars.com/rs232/
==========================
Today you will learn about RS 485. If you are familiar with RS232, then you may already know a little bit about it.
Just like it’s older brother RS232, RS485 is a form of serial communication. Think of RS485 as the younger, faster brother of RS232.
What made it such an advancement over RS232 was the fact that it could transmit not only a single device to device transmission, but also a communications bus to connect multiple devices at once.
The configuration and specifications of RS 485 make it faster and extend the range of data transmission.
You aren’t limited to fifty feet of cable like with RS 232. The maximum cable length for RS 485 is typically listed as 1200 meters or about 4000 feet.

#RealPars #RS485
Resistance to electrical noise isn't only because of cable shielding, but also thanks to the fact it uses a differential signal rather than a common ground, as with CAN bus. This also allows compensation against interference.
The range of the bus is higher and it can support faster speeds because of Differential Signalling. The signal sent across the bus is not referenced to ground, but to each other. The difference in signal levels between the bus wires determines a 1 or a 0. Noise if present pushes both the wires up or down in the same magnitude, thereby maintaining the difference in signal levels. USB is a faster bus partly because of differential signalling.
In fewer words, a balanced signal.
great summary, thank you.
Sadly, the USB bus until version 3.0 used a single twisted/balanced pair of wire, unlike the FireWire which used one for transmitting and one for receiving, causing significant delays and slow-downs on USB.
We used to instal high end Point of sale network with RS 485 cables. This is highly reliable. Terminal to terminal ( IRC) and Kitchen printers commonly used. All systems on embedded platform. Master / slave configuration and programs done.
Thanks for the information. It left many basic questions unanswered (like what are the wiring and signals used and how are the basic protocols over RS-485 work).
Hoping to see a more in-depth video on those in future
Thanks for the suggestion and feedback! Will happily pass this on to our course developers.
Happy learning!
You can use Modbus Rtu is the most common case.
Very informative and easy to understand. Thanks.
Great!
In the case of controlling a vfd, that also could have been achieved by a current loop.
You could have pointed out more benefits.
Ability to push firmware updates, remote configure device, receive status information etc.
Can I use RS 485 cable with DB 9 pin head, instead rs 232 cable with the same head?
You can use a DB9 connector but what do you mean by RS485 cable? Any twisted pair shielded cable can be used.

Sir, I have one question: what is the difference between Standard & Protocol in communication? What's the role of a Protocol in data transmission?
Looking for positive response. Thank you.
Brushing up for an interview to go from a technician to controls engineer so thanks for all the help preparing. Fingers crossed.
Glad to hear that our course video helped! Best of luck on your interview!
How did it go for you?
@@Kazshmir so not exactly how I intended 😂. The position ended up in the air for a while. I’m current in maintenance management and enjoying it.

RS-485 is more accurately described as the grown up big brother of RS-422. It’s not fair to compare it directly to RS-232. The reason RS-485 still enjoys massive usage in industrial applications is due to the range of physical layer implementations. As stated in the video it supports multi-drop as opposed to just point-to-point like RS-232. However, it can be used in full or half duplex modes. This means that a station on a RS-485 bus can simultaneously transmit and receive data at the same time.
RS-485 can be transmitted over both optical and copper physical layers. The optical implementations support dual redundant optical rings which are very robust. Both optical and copper layer repeaters mean that each copper segment can be extended to then support up to 255 node addresses (0 to 254) for the overall network. The actual protocols that run over this RS-485 physical layer are also very lean and efficient in data throughput. Profibus-DP is one example, but please note that Profibus does make a number of changes to the underlying RS-485 physical layer rules (capacitance and inductance limits, etc). Profibus-DP can run up to 12Mbps. Unfortunately, RS-485 is probably the single most misunderstood transmission technique due to a lack of understanding about bus termination requirements and correct screen connections.
Very good, RS 232, in most configurations, is point to point Where RS 422 is point to multi-point and RS 485 is multi point to multi-point. Where I once worked we made counter rotating, self healing, multi-master ring modems capable of translation from 485 to/from 232 to/from 422.
David Moran
This flexibility and ability to in effect cascade these different physical layers has also contributed to its longevity and success. RS-485 devices can also be used to replace failed stations in older RS-422 architectures with very little difficulty, although the reverse isn’t always possible. However, you can drop an RS-485 master into an existing RS-422 slave network with no problems.
Hi ! how can we use the RS-485 or RS-232 like does it have a relationship with the devices or cablee
thanks for making it so easy to understand :)
You're welcome!
I find this useful and until earlier today at work I had never heard of RS485, but I’ve heard of and used a RS232 Cable connection. I also maybe think 🤔 something that could of also being elaborated on in the age of where almost all if not many controllers have a Ethernet connection when and where a RS485 cable could be useful? I’m just junior programmer but do O.P.A.C. Engineering - Operation, Process, Automations Control Engineering. Wear many hats in what I’m doing from one week to next. Two weeks ago was on a RO plant water system startup at a plant site. It was SLC PLC with redundant processor chassis and all Ethernet connected to plc network switch with remote I/O’s. To connect directly to the SLC Processor while system was all online had to connect via RS232 on the SLC Card to Primary and Secondary Processor. As the Ethernet port was in use on both cards connected to network. That’s an example I can think of and recent where having my RS232 to USB on laptop Serial cable came in handy and was good to have. Such an example also could of being more in depth explained with the RS485 cable in various situations. However, still excellent video to educate and the more I now know.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
Is there a list of cables that fall under the category of RS232 and RS485 separately?
Thanks for amazing explain
Happy to hear!
Extremely helpful thank you 🙏🏼
You're very welcome! Happy learning!
Nice video! Very didactic! 💯 I think the only missing thing was to mention the 2-wire o 3-wire type of RS-485 and the terminator resistors or voltage bias at each end of the network
Thanks for sharing that, Sergio!

Wow! This explain is very simple and easy to understand!
Great to hear! Happy learning!
Thanks a lot for sharing knowledge, good job sir...💐🙏
You are very welcome! Great to hear that.
You may need a termination resistor of 50 ohm. Avoid running the wires outside it become damaged by lightning. As a field service engineer I found that electricians are used to wire electricity a and electronic, make sure they know that black is ground and red is high in electronics. Rs485 wiring is very sensitive that way.
Appreciated your explanation in a very simple way. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Explain very simply, thank you

LO MÁS INTERESANTE QUE VI EN LOS VIDEOS DE TH-cam
Gracias!
The 485 systems I work with can address 255 devices... 32 devices is the minimum unit load supported. 10Mbit is the fastest speed possible... you can't go as far in distance at that speed.
Right we do 99 just because we only have 2 addresses dial’s. Also 1000’ is about as long as we can go without a repeater. With networks way way over 4000’ total length.
Practically t it is an industrial I2C communication that may work with 12/24 V without a clock (SCL) or a SDA pin. Instead of that uses A and B lines to communicate as if they would be TX or RX, but at the same time works by adresses. If I said something bad, correct me. I never knew about that type of bus before. (But the video gaved me an idea).
Useful and easy to understand video, thanks

Plz, what's the benefits of RS485 for controlling a servo motor with arduino? ?
So RS485 is a physical connection, and on top of it there is the protocol that makes the nodes communicate and control, like modbus, canbus, SCADA...is this correct?
Thanks.
Yes, RS485 is merely a physical (electrical) connection and as you mentioned, some defined protocols such as Modbus, Profibus and so on using it as one of their physical media to make their nodes communicate within the network. Thanks for your question.
Amazing video, thanks!

RealPars Greetings, speaking of drawings can you elaborate what program that is being utilized to generate these spectacular illustrations. Secondly, I’m late to the party but certainly enthralled that I’ve made it. Can you offer insight as well on courses for seeking certification, please or a POC (person of contact), much appreciated!
Hi RealPars, thanks for such an informative video. I have a question though. You showed in the video that the PLC and VFD are connected via RS-485. But what about the input and output terminals? Are input and output (i/o modules) needed in this system for control? My understanding was that we use the i/o module of the PLC to connect the VFD or any other type of field sensors, but it looks they are not needed once we connect the VFD with PLC via RS-485. Can you please clarify between the difference or relationship between input/outputs and communication standard? How these two work together in a system? Thanks a lot.
There are several ways to connect a PLC to a VFD, and it depends pretty much on the model of VFD you are using. There are two main ways to connect to a VFD: hardwired and communication bus. With hardwired, there is an I/O board on the VFD that allows for wiring of PLC inputs and outputs to control and monitor the VFD. This would include analog signals (speed reference, actual speed, current draw, etc.) and digital signals (start, enable, alarms, etc.). For a communication bus (RS-485 based protocols like ProfibusDP, Industrial Ethernet, etc.) all signals are programmed and provided through a single communication cable.
Thank you Realpars ,I have question Can i control VFD via RS-485 although the communication between the plc and hmi Via ETHERNET?
Yes, as long as the controller and the VFD have an R-485 communication option installed (interface cards). I designed a system not too long ago that had 5 different communication protocols (Ethernet, Profibus DP, Profibus PA, ASi, and IOLink) installed for communicating with different devices and components.
Thanks this time and every time.please keep doing the right things👍👍👍👍👍

Hello, I have a question about 485 communication.
Is it possible with a “D1 MINI WEMOS Pro 4M 16M” using “Tasmota” e.g., B. to control a “JUNTEK DPM8624 60V24A Programmable DC/DC Digital Adjustable Step Down Voltage Power Supply Buck Converter 485 Communication”?
The D1 Mini includes WiFi and is compatible with Tasmota. You will need to provide a driver or other firmware facility to allow the D1 mini to communicate via RS-485 to the Juntek unit. This should be a straightforward task, as the Juntek provides serial communication capabilities via TTL, USB, and Modbus-RTU.
Great job ;)
Thank you!
Hello!, do i have to put a resistance of RS485 half duplex at the end of the connection?
If the data rate is low or cables are short, termination may be unnecessary. As data rates and/or cable lengths increase, which is in most cases, termination becomes mandatory. Use of a 120-ohm resistor at each end of the segment will take care of communication signal issues due to impedance mismatches between devices. RS-485 is an electrical specification, and 2-wire protocols, like Profibus, which uses RS-485 as a communication medium, are half-duplex. In general, RS-485 installations will require terminating resistors. Full duplex RS-485 requires four wires, and is not very common in industrial control systems.
Nice video thank you
You are very welcome!
Special thanks real pars
You are very welcome, Rakib!
Just love it
Thanks!
You are welcome!
One doubt. In your example at the end, you used two RS485 cables. One to connect PLC to HMI and another one from PLC to VFD. But earlier you mentioned RS485 can connect to multiple terminals. If that's the case, is it possible to use a single RS485 cable from PLC and a divider to divide the signal to VFD and HMI ?
Up to 32
transmitter/receiver pairs may be present on a RS485 network at one time. RS-485 is generally a 2-wire half-duplex system connected in a daisy-chained manner with single twisted pair cable. Many vendors also offer RS-485 multiplexers that allow for star configuration of the network.
@@realpars I had just the same question. The answer given seems to suggest that every device on the chain needs to either consume the data or otherwise forward it from one connector to the other if it is not addressed to itself. Is that the case?
Thanks for this video.could you make a video for all type of protocol communication (Rs485,IEC,modubus)

Hi newbie to modbus here, so if i'm using usb to rs485 terminal strip i just need to connect A B to transmitter then it will works? do i still need to connect ground terminal and 5V power?
In most cases, you will connect three wires: A and B, and ground (common). Power (5V) is supplied by the USB port (if connected to a computer). There are USB connections that are stand-alone, which will require external power.
I want to convert from RS232 to RS485 (My HMI and PLS ports are RS232) and I am using an Optical Fiber extender with RS85.
Please which of the pins (from 1-9) do I use as my positive and negative on the serial port pin?
I am not sure you are framing your question properly. Both RS232 and RS485 are serial protocols, so when you ask which pin is "positive and negative on the serial port pin", I am not sure which connector you are asking about. If you are asking about the RS-485 connector, Pin 8 is Transmit (+) and Pin 9 is Transmit (-). In a full RS-485 implementation, there are also (+) and (-) for Received Data, Clear to Send, and Ready to Send. RS-232 is voltage-driven, and all pins are positive with reference to ground (Pin 5).
I did not know that the connector wasn't standardized, I thought that all DB9 serial connectors were wired the same. It turns out this is not the case, every device may be wired differently even if they have matching DB9 connectors.
Great!
the conculsion part of this video is really good!
Glad to hear that! Thank you
Nice tutorial regarding RS45 data cable in comparasion RS233
Thank you!
Nice video, btw what is the differences between using RS485 vs analog input output for communication between PLC and VFD? THX
An analog input card has several channels, with each channel supporting one 4-20ma or 0-10VDC sensor input. RS485 is a communication protocol that is the foundation of digital bus data transfer (such as ProfiBus PA), which allows many sensors to be connected to one PLC communication port. For RS485 communication to a VFD, Profibus DP is often used, which supports digital and word data. To drive a VFD with PLC I/O cards, you would need DI, DO, AO, and possibly AI cards as well. So the bus-type interfaces allow the VFD to be controlled using a single cable.
@@realpars Ohh icic, thats why rs485 is used to make it easier, cuz it only uses 1 cable. How about let say pH Meter? currently im using analog input 4-20mA and plan to use more ph meter for water treatment plant. Should i use RS485 or just analog input current? thx real pars!💯

I have a question, what is the maximum length that can be used for an ethernet cable?
A CAT5 or CAT6 Ethernet cable can be run up to 100 meters (300 feet) without loss of signal, at baud rates of 100 Mb/sec or less.
Brief and useful information about RS-485. Thank you.
Great! You're very welcome.
Is RS-485 communication medium only used in Modbus communication protocol? Or is it used by other communication protocol in industries too?
RS-485 is an electrical specification that is implemented at the physical layer of a protocol. Several communication protocols use RS-485 for the physical layer\, most notably Modbus and Profibus-DP,

can you please with the wiring of 360 Visions Predator CCTV System? I have wired it through the Matrix Control Unit16/2 -and the joystick VKXM-0845-EU controller with RS485 cables, all that is coming out of the camera is a bunch of wires that have been chopped off. I have managed to identify all of them, but am unsure as how to wire the 4 wire twisted pairs, i.e., Red & Orange TX/ and Purple & Blue RX From the camera do they go to the matrix or the controller, and which pins on a RJ11 6 wire plug? any help would be very much appreciated as 360 vision diagrams only cater for the special power supply connector board, there seems to be no circuit diagrams available, I can supply pictures...
This is a product I am not familiar with, nor did I find anything useful on the internet. This type of information (wiring or circuits to the board level) is usually available only from the manufacturer.
Great stuff!
Thanks for the extra lesson besides the every friday one on the library.
Now I understand a bit more the difference between RS-232 and RS-485 communications.
But then why are we still using it nowadays when we have Profinet (or Industrial Ethernet protocols)?
Hi Erick, thank you very much for the positive feedback.
Well, if you want to use a Profibus network in your project, you need to use RS-485 as a medium (cable) to transfer data. But for Profinet you'll make use of a CAT5, 6 etc cable.
So if you have a device that only supports Profibus, for example, you need to make use of an RS-485 cable.
thank you really I like that. 👍🏻

I'm creating industrial automation projects. Yes, my brand is not Siemens, but those interfaces are still widely used despite the opinion that they are obsolete. That is not true. RS-232 is used for PC program upload/download/online mode in my projects. RS-485 (together with Ethernet) is used as main interface between the devices. On the other hand equipment which supports EtherCAT, CANopen and other modern time interfaces is more expensive. In most cases fast interfaces are not needed, so RS-485 meets the requirements.
Thank you for your comments. RS-232 use is gradually fading, but it is still used in man applications, such as with programming terminals and analytical instrumentation (GC, HPLC, etc.). RS-485 (and its precursor, RS-422) are very heavily used as the physical layer for many digital protocols (such as Profibus) and interfaces. So yes, RS-485 meets the needs of many, if not most, interfaces between devices. Little by little, though, Industrial Ethernet protocols are being used for backbone networks due to its speed and ease of connection.
can we interface RS485 and arduino. for eg:- here i have a sesnor which gives data through RS485 cable so can i interface it with arduino ?????
yes you can interface arduino.. with rs-485...

Is this the protocol used in profibus? Thanks!
Profibus, at the physical layer of the OSI communication model. You could say Profibus was built on top of RS-485. However, they are not the same. Profibus requires a more stringent cable specification (including termination resistance) so that speeds of up to 12Mbaud can be achieved. RS-485 tops out at 1Mbaud. Profibus has a very much more complex set of layers at the Data Link layer and above. Instead of a primitive UART (universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) function at the Data Link layer, Profibus uses the more flexible Fieldbus Data Link function. Significant additional functionality is stacked above the Data Link layer in Profibus, where R-485 only has a node addressing function and a limited set of commands and responses.
Perfect
Thank you, Ahmed!
Still learning, pause at 4:00, my question is between those four devices, which one is a master and which is a slave? I would assume the PLC is the master to the VSD, correct?
You are correct; the PLC is the RS-485 master the VSD and the HMI station are slave nodes.
