When communicating at high data rates, or over long distances differential data transmission offers superior performance in most applications. Differential signals can help nullify the effects of induced noise signals that can appear as common mode voltages on a network.

The most common use of RS-485 is in RS-485 based industrial fieldbus networks (connecting programmable logic controllers and motor controllers etc..) Other common uses are point of sale terminals in stores, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and remote meters. An Analog Devices RS-485 transceiver delivers all the functions of the EIA-485 standard and much more...
