Description

RS485 to WIFI/Ethernet - DIN Rail Industrial Serial Server

DIN Rail Serial Server Modbus Gateway MQTT Gateway
RS485 to WIFI/ETH - Overview

Device Overview

This module is an industrial RS485 data collector and IoT gateway, combining multiple functions in one device: serial server, Modbus gateway, MQTT gateway, RS485 to HTTPD Client, etc. With RS485, WIFI, and Ethernet ports, the module enables conversion between: serial port ↔ WIFI, serial port ↔ Ethernet, Ethernet ↔ WIFI.

Power is supplied via screw terminals and supports a wide voltage range of 5-36V. The flame-retardant PC+ABS V0 housing is DIN rail mountable — compact, robust, and easy to install. Suitable for data acquisition, IoT gateways, security systems, and smart device monitoring.

Serial Command Mode

The user sends data to the server according to the protocol. Data can be sent to different servers without restarting the device.

Serial Command Mode

HTTPD Client Mode

After configuring the HTTP header via AT commands or web page, the module can send data to or receive data from an HTTP server.

HTTPD Client Mode

MQTT Support

The device can subscribe to messages from other MQTT clients and publish topics to the server. Supports subscribing to 6 messages and publishing 6 topics — a wider range of applications. Users can view device information via terminal devices or cloud platforms.

MQTT Support

Modbus Gateway

Supports mutual conversion between Modbus TCP ↔ Modbus RTU.

Modbus Gateway

AT Command Mode

The user can query the current status of the module or set parameters by sending AT commands via the serial port.

Key Features

Multiple Configuration Methods

Configuration Methods

Supports configuration via host application, web browser, and serial port (AT commands).

Socket Distribution Protocol

Socket Distribution Protocol

In transparent transmission mode, the serial device can send data to a specified Socket connection; network data from each Socket is transmitted to the serial device via the serial port.

Hardware Protection

Hardware Protection

ESD level 4 static protection, level 3 overvoltage protection, EFT level 3 electrical fast transient protection.

Configurable Registration and Heartbeat Packets

Registration Packets

The registration packet is used to identify the device to the server, allowing the server to recognize connected devices.
