How RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 Networks are applied in Instrumentation
RS-232 Presently, this standard is known as TIA-232C. These are point-to-point networks with a purpose of connecting only two devices. The signaling is single-ended (unbalanced) which implies that the respective voltage pulses are referenced to a common ground conductor and a single conductor is used to transfer data in each direction as illustrated in figure…

Basic Features of Foundation Fieldbus (FF)
Foundation fieldbus (FF) and Profibus are the two most universal serial data bus formats that are used for interfacing between the central processor and smart devices in the process control system. The Foundation Fieldbus is mainly used in U.S. while Profibus format is primarily used in Europe. A serial data bus is a single pair…
