RS485 is a standard used in serial communications systems. This standard can be used effectively over long distances and in electrically noisy environments. Multiple receivers can be connected to such a network. These characteristics make RS-485 useful in industrial control systems and similar applications.
With the RS485 direction signal an external RS485 PHY can be controlled. The RTS I/O is used in this mode for the direction signal. The signal is set automatically to high once a data transmit is started. It will stay set between bytes if they are sent back to back. If a data receive is ongoing a new transmit should be delayed till this data has been received and the direction signal has been set to transmit.
