RS-422 Control
EIA Recommended Standard 422 was designed specifically to overcome the distance and speed limitations of RS-232 and to accommodate multiple receivers. This fits well in process control applications in which instructions are sent out to many actuators or responders. Data lines can be up to 4,000 feet with a data rate around 100 kbps. The maximum data rate is around 10 Mbps for short runs, trading off distance for speed.

Unlike RS-232, an RS-422 driver can service up to 10 receivers on the same line (bus). RS-422 is still half-duplex one way data communications over a two-wire line. If bidirectional or full-dupex operation is desired, another set of driver, receiver(s) and two-wire line is needed.
