RS232, RS422, and RS485 are all serial communication standards, but they have key differences in terms of their electrical characteristics, signaling, and applications. Here's an overview of the main distinctions:

1. *RS232 (Recommended Standard 232):*
  - *Signaling:* Uses unbalanced, single-ended signaling with one transmitter and one receiver (point-to-point communication).
  - *Voltage Levels:* Typically operates with voltage levels of +12V to -12V.
  - *Distance:* Limited to short-distance communication, typically up to 50 feet (15 meters).
  - *Applications:* Commonly used for connecting devices such as computers and modems, but not suitable for industrial environments due to limited distance and susceptibility to electrical noise.

2. *RS422 (Recommended Standard 422):*
  - *Signaling:* Uses balanced, differential signaling with one driver and multiple receivers (point-to-point or multi-point communication).
  - *Voltage Levels:* Typically operates with voltage levels around +5V to -5V.
  - *Distance:* Supports longer communication distances compared to RS232, often up to 4,000 feet (1,200 meters).
  - *Applications:* Suitable for industrial applications where longer distances and noise immunity are required. Often used in point-to-point connections or in multidrop configurations.

3. *RS485 (Recommended Standard 485):*
  - *Signaling:* Similar to RS422, RS485 also uses balanced, differential signaling, but it supports multiple drivers and multiple receivers (multi-point or multi-drop communication).
  - *Voltage Levels:* Typically operates with voltage levels around +5V to -5V.
  - *Distance:* Similar to RS422, RS485 supports longer communication distances, often up to 4,000 feet (1,200 meters) or more.
  - *Applications:* Widely used in industrial applications where long-distance communication, noise immunity, and the ability to connect multiple devices are essential. RS485 is suitable for building automation systems, process control, and other applications requiring reliable communication in harsh environments.

In summary, while RS232 is a point-to-point communication standard with limited distance and voltage levels, RS422 and RS485 are designed for more robust industrial applications, offering longer communication distances and better noise immunity. RS485, with its multi-point capabilities, is particularly well-suited for industrial networks where multiple devices need to communicate over a shared bus.
