Hi everyone. I confused about MAX3080E pins. In this image, what is the Y,Z, A and B pins. I want to communicate with device support RS485. Which are TX+, TX-,RX+,RX- pins. Which pins will send my data to other device and which pins will bring me data from device.

 

These names are not consistently applied by manufacturers and you may need to connect A on the computer to B on the instrument.

I did not understand which are my transmit pins A,B or Y,Z ?

 

On your MAX3080E diagram
D means driver: transmit pins Y,Z
R means receiver: receive pins A,B

Don't expect every device to match this.

Yeah, master device will tranmit data with using Y,Z and for receiving will use A,B to communicate with slave device, right?

For RS485 which is half duplex Y & A would connect together and Z & B would connect together. You would have to use the flow control lines to only transmit or receive at any one point in time which can be achieved by connecting the !RE & DE lines on the IC together so when High you can transmit and when low its in receive mode. RS422 uses all 4 wires.
