Common questions

Which pins are used on standard 9 pin serial cable for transmit/receive and ground?

Which pins are used on standard 9 pin serial cable for transmit/receive and ground?

Serial connectors. Serial communication devices make use of 9 or 25 pin D-type connectors for their cabled connections. They are commonly designated as DB-9 or DB-25 with the number used to differentiate between the pin counts.

What voltage does RS485 use?

Standard RS485 transceivers operate over a limited common mode voltage range that extends from –7V to 12V. In a commercial or industrial environment, ground faults, noise, and other electrical interference can induce common mode voltages that exceed these limits.

Can wiring DB9?

The 9-pin D-sub CAN bus cable pinout is defined by CANopn in the CiA 303-1 specification, shown in this table….CAN Bus 9-pin D-Sub (DB9) Pinout Table.

Pin Description
2 CAN_L bus line dominant low (a.k.a. CAN low or CAN-)
3 Optional CAN ground
4 Reserved
5 Optional CAN shield

What port has 9 pins?

DB9 Serial Ports
DB9 Serial Ports This 9-pin layout become a de facto hardware standard that enabled device manufacturers to create products that worked on a wide range of computer platforms.

How do you troubleshoot RS485 communication?

Troubleshooting RS485 / Modbus RTU Wiring

  1. Check that communication settings parameters are correct (baud rate, etc).
  2. Check that the slave address matches with the id assigned in data logger.
  3. Check modbus wiring.
  4. Check for reversed polarity on RS485 lines. If uncertain, just try swapping them.

What is the RS485 pin configuration for DB 25?

RS485 pin configuration for DB 25 Figure 3 is an RS485 wiring diagram for RS485 pinout DB9 connectors. Figure 4 is a pin diagram for both 25 pin RS485 pinout half duplex and full duplex pinout connectors. The TxD+ and TxD- lines carry transmit data while the RxD+ and RxD- contain the receive data.

What is RS485 and where is it used?

RS485 is primarily used in multi-drop configurations that make use of its balanced differential interface. Figures 3 and 4 show an RS485 pinout diagrams for 9 pin DB9 and 25 pin DB25 connectors

What pins do I need to connect RS-422/485 and RS-232?

For RS-422/485, you will need to connect pins 2 to 3 and 6 to 7. Both of these connections are required for RTS/CTS hardware flow control since RS-422/485 have differential connections. These connections can be seen in blue below (figure 2 for RS-232 and figure 3 for RS-422/485).

What is the difference between RS232 and RS485 interface?

The RS485 interface supports higher data rate and distance compare to RS232. It supports distance of 10 meters for 30-35 Mbps and 1200 meters for the data rate of about 100 kbps. It is a balanced differential interface used mainly for multi drop configuration.
