Tips for Success in Using RS-485 Data Communications
interface card in your computer. PCI bus, PCMCIA/CardBus or ISA bus cards can be used. You need to know how many wires are used on the RS-485 port of the device you need to connect. A Data (A) and Data (B) line and ground is a "2-wire" 485 connection, if there are more connections and they are labeled TD...

Distribute and conquer: Ethernet tackles motion control
and distributed. A new Ether-net-based approach can't be categorized as either one. It overcomes the limitations of both architectures while combining their best features. In a typical central control system, a single motion controller sits on an ISA or PCI bus in a PC. This is a fairly simple approach...

Ethernet Paves The Way For Simpler Distributed Motion-Control Systems
-system approach contains an embedded motion controller plugged into a PC's ISA or PCI bus. This lets the host computer communicate with the motion controller through the bus, a simple and fast process. But this central-control method has one major drawback. It requires that all control signals...

Getting Connected
applications. Backplane buses emerged in the 1980s. Motion control applications adopted them in the 1990s, with ISA, VME, and STD buses predominant at first, followed by the PCI bus. A key virtue of these buses is the simple method of addressing different devices: with only a little extra logic, the same...
