RS-485 (EIA-485) serial interface pinout and wiring

EIA-485 (formerly RS-485 or RS485) is an OSI Model physical layer electrical specification of a two-wire, half-duplex, multipoint serial connection. The standard specifies a differential form of signalling. The difference between the wires? voltages is what conveys the data. One polarity of voltage indicates a logic 1 level, the reverse polarity indicates logic 0.
