What is Modbus RS-485?

Modbus RS-485 is an efficient and reliable serial communication standard, suitable for various applications that require long-distance and multipoint connectivity. Its noise immunity and flexibility have made it widely used in industrial and communication sectors.

How does Modbus RS-485 work?

Modbus RS-485 uses a pair of signal lines (A and B) to transmit data, providing excellent noise immunity and supporting half-duplex communication modes. It allows for the connection of up to 32 devices on the same bus, with each device having a unique address for identification in sending and receiving data. This standard is widely used in industrial automation, remote monitoring, and other applications, and when combined with the Modbus protocol, it facilitates efficient data exchange and management between devices.
