We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "RS422",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Lightweight camera monitors tough environments from
Vision Components, which we summarised at the time by saying "Vision Components' VisiCube camera is integrated into existing automation environments via an RS422 and an Ethernet interface".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Servo/encoder combo provides precision positioning from
Marchant Dice: "Combined system of servomotor and encoder promises no loss of steps, and offers much higher rotational speed then a stepper motor, resulting in a faster machine".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Cedip Infrared Systems
concerning its Proton MW-IR Dual FoV thermal imaging module
- take a look at Thermal imaging offers long-range surveillance
which says: "Cedip Infrared Systems' Proton thermal imaging module is fully compliant with military specifications and is suitable for thermal IR measurement in airborne, naval or ground operations".
Take a look also at the news release from RS Components UK, World's smallest inverter available online,
as well as Compact panel is mount-anywhere HMI from Kontron UK,
and Deal brings new routers to UK from Amplicon.
