ADVANTAGES OF RS-485 FOR SENSOR APPLICATIONS

RS-485 ADVANTAGES over SDI-12

  • RS485 sensors are able to achieve much higher data throughput than SDI-12
  • RS485 sensors are able to have strong lightning, transient and ESD protection
  • Many RS485 sensors can easily be daisy chained together without communication interference and latency problems.
  • RS485 sensors can implement industry standard and proven MODBUS protocol designed for robust communication in harsh environments.
  • Today's RS485 sensors are able to achieve very low sub-milliampere (mA) power consumption which is critical for wireless weather stations, smart city applications, IoT and other sensor systems.
