RS485 is the most versatile communication standard in the standard series defined by the
EIA, and widely used for communication interface in data acquisition and control applications
where multiple nodes communicate with each other.
RS485 functionality
1. Connect DTE's (Data Terminal Equipment) directly without the need of modems.
2. Connect several DTE's in a network structure.
3. Ability to communicate over longer distances.
4. Ability to communicate at faster communication rates.
5. There is error detection implemented in the higher level protocol to detect the data
corruption and resend the information at a later time.
10.3.
Physical connection and link layer
Connection is available for IEC60870-5-103 through the rear RS485 port. For this
communication Isolated RS232 to RS485 Convertor is used.
