MODBUS RS-485
Definition
A <MODBUS RS-485> is a <SIGNAL CONVEYING ITEM> and a <DIGITAL LOOP> that is compliant with TIA-495 that is a standard defining the electrical characteristics of drivers and receivers for use in balanced digital multipoint systems. The standard is published by the Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Alliance (TIA/EIA). Digital communications networks implementing the standard can be used effectively over long distances and in electrically noisy environments. Multiple receivers may be connected to such a network in a linear, multi-drop configuration. These characteristics make such networks useful in industrial environments and similar applications
