[purple][b][size=3]RS-485 [/size][/b][/purple][br][br]

The RS-485 standard was developed jointly by two trade associations: the Electronic
Industries Association ( ?EIA) and the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).
The EIA once labeled all its standards with the prefix "RS" (Recommended Standard).
Today, various extensions of the RS-485 standard accommodate a large variety of applications.
The RS-485 and RS-422 standards have much in common, and are often confused for
that reason.The table below compares the two. RS-485, which specifies bidirectional,
half-duplex data transmission, is the only EIA/TIA standard that allows multiple receivers
and drivers in "bus" configurations. EIA/TIA-422, on the other hand, specifies a single,
unidirectional driver with multiple receivers. RS-485 parts are backward-compatible and
interchangeable with their RS-422 counterparts, but RS-422 drivers should not be used
in an RS-485 system because they cannot relinquish control of the bus.
