RS-232C
The RS-232C signals, asynchronous data are represented by voltage levels with respect
to a system common. The data is bi-polar: a +3 to +12 volt indicates an ON (space)
condition while a –3 V to –12 volt indicates an OFF (Mark) condition. The “dead area”
between +3 V and –3 V is designed to absorb line noise.
The 15 m limitation of cable length can be stretched to about 30 m for ordinary cable, if
well screened and grounded, and about 100 m if the cable is low capacitance as well.
RS-422
RS-422 is a balanced interface. A pair of wires is used to carry each signal. The data is
encoded and decoded as a differential voltage between sender and receiver. A typical
truth table for a balanced interface is as follows:
VA-VB < -0.2 V=0, VA-VB > +0.2 V=1
If lines A and B are close together, they will be affected almost identically by external
electromagnetic noise. If the lines are also twisted together, then neither line is
permanently closer to a noise source than the other. Hence the well known “twisted
pair” is extremely effective in eliminating noise from the signal. The output signal level
swings between 0 to +5 V. The RS-422 is designed for greater distance and higher baud
rates than RS-232C.
