1.Why RS 232 cannot be used for multidrop applications?
2.Why RS 232 can be used only up to 15m but RS 485 for longer distance?
3.Which factor determines the data rate of serial communication, electrical standards(like RS232,485 etc ) or protocols(modbus,TCP/IP..)?
4.Why there are seperate protocols for each level in communications used in a process industry?
eg:
Enterprise--------Ethernet
Control-----------HSE,ControlNet
Fieldbus------------Fieldbus,Profibus PA
Devicebus-----------DeviceNet,Profibus DP,Interbus
Sensorbus-----------CAN,ASI,Seriplex
why not a universal protocol with all the good features of existing ones??
Thank you,
