RS-232 stands for Recommend Standard number 232. The RS-232 standard was defined as a single-ended standard for increasing serial-communication distances at low baud rates (<20kbps).

  RS-422 is a differential standard that allows transmission over much greater distances.  RS-422 advantage is the separate transmit and receive paths for which no direction control is needed.
