We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "RS485 Interface",
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 Submersible transducer adds tougher cable from
Pressure Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Datalogging level transducer adds option for ETFE jacketed cable for increased durability and corrosion resistance in liquid level monitoring applications".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release I/O units integrate Scada systems from
Audon Electronics: "The optional DAQ Studio software can be used to provide a data acquisition, trending and alarm management interface for the PC".
In September 2006, we covered the news from ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors)
concerning its HVAC drives
- take a look at HVAC drives are easy to integrate
which says: "Ease of integration with building management systems has lead to ABB HVAC drives being installed at the new Cheshire and Merseyside NHS Treatment Centre".
Take a look also at the news release from SensorsOne, PD-39X differential pressure transmitter,
as well as Remote I/O servers promise higher performance from Amplicon,
and Safety controller drives asset management system from Hima Paul Hildebrandt.
