Main Function
Bidirectional transparent data transmission between RS232/485/422 and Ethernet.
Three Different Interfaces
Integrated RS232 / RS485 / RS422 interfaces — suitable for more application scenarios.
The Ethernet port can simultaneously send data to all three serial ports.
Only one of the RS232, RS485, or RS422 ports can send data to the Ethernet port at a time.
Multiple Power Supply Methods
- Power via PoE Ethernet port* — IEEE 802.3af standard support
- Power via screw terminal or DC jack — DC 6–36 V, wide voltage range
* PoE function is only available in the PoE version.
DIN-Rail Mounting
Conveniently combine multiple serial servers on one rail — flexible and easy installation.
Modbus Gateway Support
Suitable for Modbus network modernization. Can be used with dedicated configuration software.
Multiple Communication Modes
Support for: TCP server / TCP client / UDP / UDP multicast.
MQTT/JSON ↔ Modbus
Flexible conversion between different protocols.
When used as an MQTT gateway, the device transmits serial data to an MQTT server via transparent transmission. Supported: Baidu Cloud MQTT, Alibaba Cloud MQTT, China Mobile OneNet, etc. Modbus RTU data or non-standard serial data can be parsed into JSON format and packed into an MQTT packet for upload.
When used as a JSON data acquisition gateway, the device connects to measuring instruments via RS485, automatically collects data, converts it to JSON format, and sends it to the server. Supported: Modbus RTU, 645 meters (versions 97 and 07), and non-standard RS485 protocols. Upload format is customizable via host; protocols: MQTT, HTTP POST, HTTP GET, etc.
Support for Cyclic Multi-host Polling
Different network devices are identified and processed separately — no cross-interference when working with multiple network devices.
Configurable Heartbeat / Registration Packet
Simplifies cloud communication and device identification.
NTP Protocol Support
Acquiring network time for serial output or data upload.
Multiple Configuration Methods
Supports configuration via web browser, obtaining dynamic IP address via DHCP, connecting to domain server via DNS.
Multi-level Protection — Reliable and Stable
Built-in galvanic isolation for power and signals ensures stable isolation voltage with high reliability and interference immunity. Built-in TVS (transient voltage suppression) effectively suppresses surges and transient peak voltages — lightning and ESD protection. Built-in self-recovery fuse and protection diode ensure stable current and voltage output, overcurrent and overvoltage protection.
Aluminum Enclosure
Aluminum alloy enclosure with sandblasting and anodizing treatment. Durable and long-lasting, modern look and pleasant to the touch.
