Industrial RS232/RS485 to Ethernet Converter

As humans, Communication comes naturally to us, as most of us are born with all of the senses and peripherals that we need to effectively pass information to each other – whether through speech, sign language or even simple facial expressions. However, we certainly take this for granted, and this becomes apparent when you try to get two different Electronics Modules or components to communicate with each other, but in different languages. In fact, even though there are a wide range of different Serial Communications protocols, all quite similar in a few ways, even these can’t always communicate effectively without some kind of converter or “Translator” to match the incoming signals with what the output device is expecting.

This is precisely what makes the Industrial RS232/RS485 to Ethernet Converter such a great tool for anyone who likes to deal with serial communications protocols like RS485, RS232 and RJ45, as it allows these similar but subtly different protocols to effectively communicate, despite the fact that they essentially “speak” different “Dialects”. This enables you to utilise the major benefits of each protocol, but without sacrificing on any functionality, allowing you to communicate with robotics projects via Ethernet, or control multiple RS485, RS232 and RJ45 slave devices without having to develop separate systems for each protocol.

In addition to a great quality design, this industrial serial converter module also features a range of great benefits that improve performance and reliability, as well as user convenience and protections against a variety of common and uncommon faults. So let’s take a closer look at some of these awesome features:
