Brainboxes

Add Ethernet connectivity for just £85

With Brainboxes' range of Ethernet to Serial converters you can quickly connect any serial device to an Ethernet network allowing access and control over greater distances and unlock access to legacy equipment which only has serial I/O

With the single port RS-232 to Ethernet option starting at £85, and versions that support both dual channel RS-232 and RS-422/485 serial communications the range can be used in many industrial applications including:

  • PLC communication - CANopen, MODBUS, PROFIBUS and DeviceNet
  • Remote Telemetry
  • Security and camera control
  • CNC machines
  • Lighting control
  • Legacy serial interface printers
  • Or any other application that uses serial data over RS-232 or RS-422/485

Many common PLC communication field bus protocols use either RS-485 (EIA-485) or RS-232 as their physical transport layer. Using a Ethernet to Serial converter with field bus devices allows you to seamlessly communicate over your local Ethernet network and beyond.
