RS-485 to Ethernet Converter – ERS-485
The ERS-485 by Ambetronics is an efficient RS-485 to Ethernet Converter designed for seamless serial data transmission over IP networks. With advanced technology, it offers flexibility and high performance, making it ideal for devices requiring effective communication with RS-485 equipment over an Ethernet network. This economical Modbus-to-Ethernet converter easily integrates with devices featuring RS-485 ports, enabling web connectivity. The ERS-485 eliminates cable length limitations, supporting “serial tunneling” through Ethernet or TCP/IP. It serves as a single-port serial server, converting serial to Ethernet, and excels in cable replacement, virtual COM port connections, simultaneous communication with multiple RS-485 devices, connecting Serial PLCs to Ethernet, and supporting Modbus RTU to Modbus over TCP/IP or Modbus TCP/IP conversion. Key features include LED indication, cost-effectiveness, 10/100Mbps Ethernet speed, TCP/UDP/Telnet modes, DHCP/Static IP modes, web-based configuration, and low power consumption. The converter finds applications in fire and security panels, remote equipment management, access control, industrial control, and home automation. Its technical specifications encompass support for TCP, UDP, DHCP, HTTP, Server-Client, TELNET, and Modbus TCP protocols, 10/100Mbps speed in half-duplex mode, and a built-in HTTP web server for configuration. The compact ABS plastic design with dimensions of 101mm (H) x 58.5mm (W) x 23mm (D) and weighing around 200g allows for easy mounting on Din Rail or walls. The serial interface supports various configurations, including parity bit options, 8 data bits, baud rates from 2400 to 460800 bps, and multiple flow control options. The ERS-485 operates in a temperature range of 0 to 55°C, with a storage temperature range of 0 to 60°C, and relative humidity from 5% to 95% RH (non-condensing).
