Applications/Examples of results
【Background and Issues】 With the replacement of equipment in the factory and the introduction of IoT, it has become necessary to select and review the communication standards for both old and new devices (RS-232/422/485 and CAN BUS). I want to organize and reconfirm basic knowledge to identify the causes of noise interference and communication errors on-site, and to stabilize long-distance transmission. I am unsure of the criteria for determining "which serial standard is optimal for the system," and I am confused about selecting the appropriate equipment. 【How to Use This Document and Achievements】 Utilized as a technical selection guide: Quickly grasp the basic concepts of optimal serial communication standards tailored to on-site conditions such as noise countermeasures, transmission distance, and communication speed. Smooth implementation: After understanding the concepts, it is possible to smoothly select products that perfectly fit the application from Advantech's extensive lineup (expansion cards, iDoor modules, converters, remote I/O, etc.).
