25 pins connectors. This standard is used for relatively short-range communications and does
not specify balanced control lines. RS-232 is a serial control standard with a set number of
conductors, data rate, word length and type of connector to be used. The standard speci

component connection standards with regard to computer interface. It is also called RS-232-C,
which is the third version of the RS-232 standard, and is functionally identical to the CCITT V.24
standard. Logical ’0’ is > + 3V, Logical ’1’ is < - 3V. The range between -3V and +3V is the tran-
