The USR-TCP232-306 Serial to Ethernet Converter is a versatile device server designed for efficient serial data communication over networks. It facilitates bidirectional transparent transmission between RS232/RS485/RS422 ports and Ethernet, enabling remote data acquisition, control, and management in industrial, commercial, and IoT settings. With a wide 5-36V DC power supply, it adapts to various power sources, making it suitable for harsh environments.
Key Features:
Network Compatibility: Supports TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Client, UDP Server, and HTTPD Client modes, allowing flexible integration into existing systems. HTTPD Client mode sends serial data in HTTP format for web-based applications.
Serial Port Support: Compatible with RS232, RS485, and RS422 interfaces (note: cannot be used simultaneously). Configurable baud rate from 600 bps to 230.4 Kbps with multiple check bit options (none, odd, even, mark, space).
Reliability Mechanisms: Heartbeat package and user-defined registration package ensure stable connections and prevent dead links. In TCP Server mode, connection numbers can be set from 1 to 16, with options to display connected IPs and manage data transmission.
Easy Configuration: Parameters can be configured via built-in webpage, AT commands, serial protocol, or network protocol, enabling seamless integration into user software. Supports TCP client short connections with customizable disconnect times.
Advanced Network Functions: Includes DHCP for automatic IP acquisition, DNS with configurable server addresses, and global unique MAC address (user-customizable). Firmware can be upgraded over the network.
Additional Tools: Provides virtual COM software for easy PC integration, factory reset via software or hardware, and data buffer clearance before TCP connections. Operates reliably across gateways, switches, and routers in both LAN and Internet environments.
Applications: Ideal for remote monitoring, industrial automation, smart agriculture, and network-based device management. This converter offers a cost-effective solution for extending serial communication to Ethernet networks.
