Explain the half-duplex transmission mode.

What will be an ideal response?


Half-duplex is a bidirectional transmission mode but it will able to either send or receive data at a time. In this transmission mode, transmitter will send its data and receiver will respond only when transmitter has completed its data transmission. Therefore, both devices are capable to transmit or receive data but only one of them can function as a transmitter and other one function as a receiver at any specific time. Half-duplex uses RS-485 physical standard for communication.
