RS 423

RS-423 defines a uni-directional serial interface that transmits data from one transmitter to multiple receivers. It uses a single data line with data flowing in one direction. RS-423 interfaces connect data terminal equipment such as computers to data circuit-terminating equipment like terminals. The standard supports transmission speeds up to 100kbps over cable lengths of up to 4000 feet at lower speeds or 50 feet at top speed. Common issues include ground potential differences causing communication failures and the uni-directional nature limiting throughput.

RS 423

RS-423

 The RS-423 standard defines a uni-directional interface between


one transmitter and many receivers. For example, a single computer
may need to update a number of terminals that are displaying, for
example, a customers order information at multiple locations
throughout a warehouse. The data direction is always in one
direction.
Features
 RS423 uses a single line, the data direction is always in one direction.
 RS-423 is a serial interface between one DTE and one DCE.
 Data terminal equipment (DTE), is an end instrument that converts user
information into signals or reconverts received signals. These can also be called
tail circuits. A DTE device communicates with the data circuit-terminating
equipment (DCE)
 Data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) is a device that sits between the data
terminal equipment (DTE) and a data transmission circuit. It is also called data
communication(s) equipment and data carrier equipment
 The voltage levels are defined relative to an earth ground potential assumed to
be zero volts.
 We use both the A and B lines of a pair, but the B lines in RS-423 are all tied to the
Ground (GND).
 The maximum speed is 100kbps and the maximum cable length is dependent on
the speed and on the capacitance of the cable. The maximum cable length is
4000 feet/1200m at 1kbps and 50 feet/15m at 100kbps
Limitations

 Use of a common ground is one weakness of RS-423, because if


devices are far enough apart or on separate power systems, the
ground will degrade between them and communications will fail,
resulting in a condition that is difficult to trace.
 RS-423 allows for distances up to 4000 feet but limits data rates to
only 100 kb/sec for a maximum of ten receivers
 The voltage levels are defined relative to an earth ground potential
assumed to be zero volts. Consequently a difference in ground
voltage levels will result in problems that will confuse the data
values.
RS 423 vs RS 422

 RS-423 is very similar to RS-422. RS-423 is a serial interface between


one DTE and one DCE, unlike RS-422. A DB25 connector is
sometimes used in place of the typical DB37, although the DB37 is
still used. Like RS-422, all signals use both the A and B lines of a pair,
but the B lines in RS-423 are all tied to the Ground (GND). RS-423 is
also a single ended signal rather than the balanced signal of RS-422.
