Signal drift is one of the most frustrating issues in industrial automation.It won’t trip the system, won’t raise alarms, and won’t obviously fail — it simply “moves a little” over time. A slow slope appears in the trend, the analog value gradually shifts, and the PID loop starts behaving strangely.Engineers may spend days chasing the […]

“RS485 can reach up to 1200 meters?” — That’s the textbook answer. But in factory workshops, underground cable ducts, or environments with strong electromagnetic interference, even 200 meters might not work. Why? Because theory is ideal, but real-world environments are complex. This article not only provides a detailed comparison of the technical differences between RS232,
