AD-net Dual Serial RS232 RS485 Modbus Gateway

Description

Product Overview

The AD-net Dual Serial RS232 RS485 Modbus Gateway is engineered for demanding industrial environments. Housed in a rugged metal enclosure, it mounts securely on a standard DIN rail and operates from a versatile 6–70V DC power source, with a complimentary AC adapter included. Featuring simultaneous RS‑232 and RS‑485 ports, the device eliminates the need for manual switching, allowing legacy serial equipment and modern Modbus devices to communicate concurrently. Built‑in protocol conversion transforms Modbus RTU to TCP/IP, supporting server, client, UDP and transparent modes, while a web‑based UI simplifies network configuration, baud‑rate selection and gateway settings.

Usage

Designed for PLCs, SCADA systems, sensors and industrial controllers, this gateway fits seamlessly into control cabinets, factory floors and remote monitoring stations. Its DIN‑rail design and wide voltage acceptance enable easy integration with existing power distribution panels, reducing wiring complexity. Ideal for automation engineers, system integrators and maintenance technicians who require reliable, real‑time data exchange between serial field devices and Ethernet networks.
