  RS485, specifications and in depth tutorial
RS485 is the most versatile communication standard in the standard series defined by the EIA, as it performs well on all four points.
RS485 repeaters are also available which make it possible to increase the number of nodes to several thousands, spanning multiple kilometers.
RS485 is used as the electrical layer for many well known interface standards, including Profibus and Modbus.

 RS485   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
RS485 is a balanced serial interface for the transmission of digital data.
With RS485 it is possible to set-up a multi-point application with one master and several slaves.
This means that when RS485 is used in a 4-wire application and the transmit and receive circuits are thus separated that you can add up to 64 devices on a segment.

 RS485, RS232, RS422, RS423, Quick Reference Guide
RS485 meets the requirements for a truly multi-point communications network, and the standard specifies up to 32 drivers and 32 receivers on a single (2-wire) bus.
RS485 extends the common mode range for both drivers and receivers in the "tri-state" mode and with power off.
Also, RS485 drivers are able to withstand "data collisions" (bus contention) problems and bus fault conditions.

 RS485 Tech info
RS485 will support 32 drivers and 32 receivers (we are talking about bi-directional - half duplex - multi-drop communications over a single or dual twisted pair cable !!).
The typical use for RS485 is a single PC connected to several addressable devices that share the same cable.
The RS232 may be converted to RS485 with a simple interface converter - it can have optical isolation and surge suppression.

 Eurotherm | Knowledge | RS232 / RS422 / RS485   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The RS485 standard allows one or more instruments to be connected (multi-dropped) using a two wire connection, with cable length of up to 1200M.
The balanced differential signal transmission is less prone to interference and should be used in preference to RS232 in noisy environments.
Although RS485 is commonly referred to as a ‘two wire’ connection, a separate cable is often provided for linking the circuit commons.

 RS232-to-RS485 Converter . User’s Guide
A two-wire RS485 is a half duplex serial interface that utilizes a differential pair of wires to carry signal to long distance.
It is the relative potential difference between the RS485 "+" and the "-" that determines whether a signal bit is a ‘0’ or a ‘1’.
The RS485 transmit/receive state is directly controlled by the logic state of the /RTS signal on its RS232 interface.

 RS485 Converter
Any RTS controlled RS485 converter (and, like ours, that is how most of them work!) will only have mediocre performance under windows - and with some RS485 devices at higher baud rates it may well fail to operate.
RS485 Transmission not just controlled by RTS, but also switched to 'Transmit' whenever the RS232 TxD line goes to space (active).
If you are just interested in the RS485 converter, there is no reason to go through the whole tutorial - the two diagrams you will need will be the PCB layout and the schematic, and they are both reproduced below.

For example Profibus is based on RS485 and Profibus runs at speeds up to 12 Mbaud (625 times faster than 19,200 baud).
The problems with RS422 and RS485 is that the set-up is more difficult: you have to use more expensive cable (for proper impedance and capacitance), properly terminate the ends of the cables, set addresses, etc. But the advantages are longer cable lengths, higher baud rates, and multiple devices share the same communication network.
Most of the changes for RS422 and RS485 are in the hardware and cabling.
