Add to Cart:

This compact DIN-rail mounted RS485/RS232 to Ethernet server transforms traditional serial communication (RS485/RS232) into high-speed Ethernet network data, enabling industrial systems and legacy devices to communicate over IP networks without hardware redesign. It is ideal for automation, IoT, building control, factory monitoring, and edge networking applications. With support for common industrial network protocols and DHCP, this converter is easy to deploy in both new and existing Ethernet infrastructures.

Key Features

  • Supports RS485 or RS232 serial communication.
  • Converts serial data into Ethernet (TCP/IP) packets.
  • Works as a serial device server for remote network access.

Industrial-Grade Build

  • DIN-rail mount design for control cabinets and automation racks.
  • Wide operating temperature: suitable for harsh industrial environments.
  • Rugged construction with lightning and surge protection on serial ports.

Protocol Support

  • Modbus TCP, TCP Server/Client, UDP Server/Client.
  • Standard network protocols: DHCP, DNS, HTTP, SNMP, ICMP, ARP.
  • Multiple TCP/UDP sessions for concurrent data streams.

Typical applications

  • Factory and Automation
    Connect PLCs, HMIs, sensors, and field devices over Ethernet without replacing hardware.

  • Building & Facility Management
    Integrate serial HVAC controllers and energy meters into IP-based building systems.

  • Remote Monitoring & Control
    Enable serial equipment monitoring via networked SCADA systems and IoT dashboards.

  • Legacy Equipment Networking
    Bridge RS485/RS232 devices into modern Ethernet environments efficiently and cost-effectively.
