Serial RS-232 and RS-485 Product Lines
Pribusin’s Serial RS-232 and RS-485 product lines provide reliable, long-distance communication solutions for industrial control, monitoring, and automation applications. These serial communication protocols are commonly used for data exchange.
Pribusin’s RCI-SER series supports both RS-232 and RS-485 protocols. This allows easy integration with SCADA systems, PLCs, remote telemetry units (RTUs), and other industrial control equipment. Whether you need point-to-point or multi-drop communication, our serial products provide the flexibility and reliability required for industrial environments.
Understanding RS-232 and RS-485 Communication
RS-232 (Recommended Standard 232)
- Commonly used for short-distance, point-to-point communication (up to 50 feet/15 meters).
- Supports full-duplex transmission (simultaneous two-way communication).
- Used in legacy equipment, such as industrial controllers, sensors, and PCs.
- Susceptible to noise and interference over longer distances.
RS-485 (Recommended Standard 485)
- Designed for long-distance, multi-remote communication (up to 4000 feet/1200 meters).
- Supports half-duplex and full-duplex communication modes.
- Provides high noise immunity, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
- Allows multiple devices (up to 32 nodes) on a single communication bus.
