RS485 vs RS232: Key Differences Explained by jack is a document available to read on EtoBox.
RS485 and RS232 are serial interface standards, with RS485 using differential signaling to support multipoint networks over greater distances at higher speeds, while RS232 uses single-ended signaling for point-to-point links over shorter distances at lower speeds. Real-world examples show RS485 is preferable for industrial, building automation and robotics applications requiring longer cable runs and noise immunity, while RS232 suffices for simple computer peripherals and lab equipment connections.
