Re: RC schematics

Actually, the RS485 and RS422 standards are very similar protocols, but while RS422 has just a pair of devices on the bus (sender and receiver), an RS485 interface can support more than 2 devices on the bus ... so when a 485 device isn't sending, it puts its outputs into a Hi-Z state.
