What is 232 in RS232 and MAX232?

The difference between max232 and rs232 is the voltage levels of the rs232 are high. In order to reduce those voltage means to convert those voltage levels to TTL logic levels we use max232 integrated chip which is a dual driver/ receiver.


Why the name RS232?

Because R2D2 was already taken!


How can you link RS232 serial data on COM1 to output on COM2?

Yes on a modern computer you will need a USB to 9 pin RS232 converter or previously use the LPT parallel port.


Difference between Ethernet and RS 485?

RS232 is for point to point communication where as RS 485 is for multidpoint communication, Voltage level and speed differ Hi frnds,, There are few points which v can discuss on these are 1) Ya first main important point is RS232 is point to point communication n RS485 is multidrope communication which means ... on RS232 u can not connect more than two device... RS485 u can connect upto I think max 128 device theorically..(its depends on noise level as well as on distance and burd rate also) Practicall as max 32... 2)Voltage level of RS232 is -3 to -25 for 1 +3 to +25V for 0 while RS485 is based on differential voltage (0-5v) diff is 240mV for 1 and -240mV for 0. 3)distance limitation is 100meter for RS232 and 1Km for RS485, 4)noise immunity is high for RS485 as it is balance protocol and differencial protocol.. 5)Software point of view u need to set transmit enable line in RS485 rest of the software is same... 6)pin for 232 is (Rx Tx and GND) while in case of RS485 it is (A(+) and B(-)) no need to transmit GND..signal

Where can one purchase a UST to RS232?

A UST to RS232 cable can be bought from many electrical stores especially those specialising in components and parts. They can be found local to you or online on websites such as eBay or Amazon. Buying them online is cheaper then buying them in stores.

what is the maximum recommended length for a standard RS-232 cable?

Depends what you mean by a serial cable - Fibre, Ethernet, RS232, RS485, RS422, USB, HDMI, SMPTE292 are all examples of serial communications media. RS232 max length 50 ft Ethernet max length 100 m


The maximum cable length for a serial cable according to RS-232 standards is 50 feet?

50 feet is quoted as a maximum cable length for RS232 but that limit has been extended in practical applications to far longer distances. The practical limit depends on the data rate, the type of cable and the environment in which it is installed. RS232 is being replaced by other communication interfaces so although it can be extended further than the strict limit quoted by the standard, long cables will normally use other methods.


What are the advantage of rs232?

Ethernet is a networking interconnect system that allows multiple communication paths to exist simultaneously. It provides high speed communiction. Most new computers have at least one Ethernet interface. These interfaces usually include DC electrical isolation with a transformer. Generally fewer feet of cable would be needed than for an RS232 system. Maximum copper wire cable length is 100 meters (328 ft) without repeaters. This means that from an Ethernet switch (this not a mechanical switch) centrally located you can serve machines within a 200 meter diameter. If your CNC has a built-in Ethernet capability you may have some features that make file transfer easy. Ethernet provides good ground loop noise immunity. We have an Ethernet to RS232 device identified as E232 that allows any HAAS and some others to connect to an Ethernet network and work at 115.2 kbaud. RS232 as normally used is a direct electrical connection from your computer to CNC. This has some major problems. Ground loop noise sensitivity, easily damaged from electrical faults, limited cable length. Working cable length is inversely proportional to cable length. RS232 is low cost. We have another product, I232, that provides electrical isolation (greatly reduces noise problems and damage from electrical faults), high baud rate at long distances. With the I232 system we can send error free data at 115.2 kbaud over a 4000 ft cable with 1000 V RMS 60 Hz applied to the interconnect cable. That is a +/-1414 V signal. The I232 System is an RS232 to RS232 interconnect system.

Yes, you can get a USB to RS232 converter (aka USB to Serial).


What is the difference between rs232 and rs485 port?

Difference between Rs232 and RS485 is Only Distance RS232 is not for long or far distance .. but RS485 can be use for LONGEST distance ..RS232 is single ended communication where as RS485 is Differential communication.Max.no of receivers in RS232 is only ONE, whereas in RS485 is 32.Max.no of transmitters in RS232 is only ONE whereas in RS485 is 32.IN RS232 there is no pin to change from transmitter mode receiver mode. But, In RS485 have DE pin to set transmitter mode and RI to set receiver mode.

Is rs232 synchronous or asynchronous?

It can be either.
