5143D Guideway RS485 serial port server /Modbus gateway,
is a kind of RS485 device data collector/IOT gateway specially designe for industrial environment, which integrates serial port server, Modbus gateway, MQTT gateway, RS485 to JSON and other functions. It has an RS485 interface and RJ45 interface. It uses guide-way type installation way, the volume is compact and installation is convenient. Terminal type power supply access, 9~24V wide voltage input. Because there is only RS485 interface, the RS232 interface which is not commonly use on industrial instruments is cancelled, which saves the cost and volume and has a higher cost performance ratio compared with ordinary products.
When used as a normal serial port server, the 5143D network port is connecte to the RJ45 Ethernet. The host computer software can use TCP/UDP transmission mode or virtual serial port mode to send data to the 5143D RS485 interface. Data receive on the RS485 interface is also transferre to software or virtual serial ports on the TCPend. Under the mode of virtual serial port, the serial port software connecte to virtual serial port can use without any configuration.
