Skyco's Open Communication Protocols
|
RS-485 is the most popular method of communication in Automation today. Crestron, Lutron, and others all use a proprietary (branded) form of RS-485 communication. Skyco offers an open RS-485 communication standard that allows Skyco motors to be controlled by any and all systems. It allows communication distances in the 1000's of feet, or using repeaters to go farther.

RS-232 is still used today and we still support it. Some of our interfaces offer either RS-232 or RS-485, as do most major Automation systems. If a system only offers an RS-232 port, we can easily adapt it to RS-485 with a converter. RS-232 is good for communicating between a distance of 150 feet maximum, so it is best for local connections, not the entire building.
