RS-232

The standard way of communicating with locally attached external devices at up to 230 kbps. Standard is three wire: TxD, RxD, Gnd. Please contact us if you need hardware flow control.

RS-485

An industrial physical interface used for factory automation and long distance higher-speed communications. Speeds up to 3 Mbps; half-duplex standard, full-duplex optional resistor termination. Powered by a rugged industrial driver. More

CAN bus

Used in automotive communications buses, motor controls, and other industrial applications. More

Ethernet

Standard 10/100 Mbps Base-T full-duplex; up to Gigabit on some controllers. Supports DHCP or static IP addressing along with the full range of IP settings and options.
