Supports Ethernet Port Cascading And PoE Power Supply
Onboard 2-ch Ethernet ports for communication and cascading. One can be used for serial server dual communication, and the other can be used for cascading or communicating with other devices.
Basic Function
Bidirectional transparent data transmission between 8-ch RS485 and Ethernet
Multiple Power Supply Options
Supports PoE Ethernet port power supply*, compliant with IEEE 802.3af PoE standard;
Supports screw terminal for power supply, wide voltage range DC 7V~36V
* This function is only available on the PoE version
Industrial Serial System
Industrial DIN-rail mounting design, supports wall-mount and DIN-rail mount, compact size, easy installation, cost-effective price
Choice Of Installation Method
When using DIN-rail mounting, the wall-mount brackets can be removed or installed on the back of the casing as shown in the figure below. When using wall-mount, the DIN-rail buckle needs to be removed.
DIN-rail mounting
Wall mounting
Modbus Gateway Support
Suitable for Modbus network upgrade, can be used with specific configuration software
Multiple Communication Modes
Supports TCP server / TCP client / UDP multicast / UDP modes
* Note: This module has 8 channels, and each channel supports the above functions separately
MQTT/JSON To Modbus
More flexible conversion between different protocols
When used as an MQTT gateway, devices can upload serial port data to the MQTT server through the MQTT protocol with transparent transmission. Supported servers include Baidu Cloud MQTT, Alibaba Cloud MQTT, China Mobile OneNet, etc. The received Modbus RTU data or non-standard serial port data can be parsed in JSON format and packaged into an MQTT data packet for uploading.
When used as a JSON data acquisition gateway, devices can connect to data acquisition instruments through RS485 connections, then automatically collect data, convert the data to JSON format, and finally send it to the server. The collected data supports Modbus RTU 645 version 97 instruments, 645 version 07 instruments, and various non-standard RS485 protocols. The uploaded data format can be configured through the host, and the JSON upload protocol can be MQTT protocol, HTTP POST protocol, HTTP GET protocol, etc.
Supports Multiple Host Polling
Different network devices will be identified and responded to separately,
No more crosstalk problems when communicating with multiple network devices
Custom Heartbeat/Registration Packets
Easy for cloud communication and device identification
Supports NTP Protocol
Obtain network time information for serial output or data uploading
Multiple Configuration Methods
Supports web browser configuration, obtains dynamic IP through DHCP,
DNS protocol for connecting to domain server address
Multiple Protections, Safe And Stable Operation
Onboard power and signal isolation, can provide stable isolated voltage with high reliability and strong anti-interference ability.
