This device is an industrial communication gateway designed to bridge RS485 serial devices with Ethernet networks. It allows for seamless integration of legacy serial equipment into modern IP-based systems, making it ideal for use in automation, monitoring, and control applications. The 8 independent RS485 ports support different baud rates and operate without interference, ensuring reliable data transmission across multiple devices. Its bi-directional communication capability enables both sending and receiving data over the network, which is essential for real-time monitoring and control systems.
The gateway supports various communication protocols such as TCP server, TCP client, UDP, and UDP multicast. This versatility ensures compatibility with a wide range of network environments and applications. It also functions as a Modbus gateway, MQTT gateway, and can convert RS485 data to JSON format, making it a comprehensive solution for industrial IoT deployments. The inclusion of dual Ethernet ports enhances network flexibility, allowing for network switching and redundancy. The optional PoE feature simplifies installation by reducing the need for separate power supplies.
The compact design of the device allows for easy installation in both wall and rail-mount configurations, making it suitable for use in tight spaces or industrial enclosures. Its isolated module design helps protect against electrical noise and interference common in industrial environments. The device is well-suited for applications such as factory automation, building management systems, and remote monitoring of equipment. Users can refer to the official Wiki resources provided by the manufacturer for detailed setup instructions and troubleshooting tips.
