RS-232, RS-422, RS-485

RS-232

Almost each PC with one serial interface (RS232C). This PC serial port interface is single ended (connects only two devices with each other), the data rate is less than 20 kbps. It's a voltage loop serial interface with full-duplex communication represented by voltage levels with respect to system ground. A common ground between the PC and the associated device is necessary.
