Feature Detail

Primary Function - Bi-directional transparent data transmission between RS485 and ethernet.

Industrial Serial Server primary function

Rail-Mount Support - Easy to combine multi rail-mounted serial servers together.

Industrial Serial Server rail mount

Modbus Gateway Support - Suitable for Modbus gridding upgrade, can be used with 3D configuration software.

Industrial Serial Server Modbus

Multi Communication Modes - Supports TCP Server / TCP Client / UDP Mode / UDP Multicast.

Industrial Serial Server TCP UDP

MQTT/JSON To Modbus - More flexible conversion between different protocols.

Industrial Serial Server MQTT

  • When used as an MQTT gateway, the devices can upload serial data to the MQTT server by MQTT protocol through transparent transmission, supported servers including Baidu Cloud MQTT, Alibaba Cloud MQTT, China Mobile OneNet, etc. The acquired Modbus RTU or non-standard serial data can be parsed into JSON format and packaged into an MQTT data packet for uploading.
  • When used as JSON data acquisition gateway, the devices can be connected to data acquisition instruments through RS485 connection, then acquire data automatically, convert the data into JSON format, and finally post it to server. The acquired data supports Modbus RTU 645 instrument 97 version, 645 instrument 07 version, as well as sorts of non-standard RS485 protocols. The uploaded data format can be configured via host, and the JSON upload protocol can be MQTT protocol, HTTP POST protocol, HTTP GET protocol and so on.

Multi Hosts Roll-Polling Support - Different network devices will be identified and respond respectively, no more crosstalk issues while communicating with multi-network devices.

Industrial Serial Server roll-polling

User-Defined Heartbeat/Registration Packet - Easy for cloud communication and device identification.

Industrial Serial Server Heartbeat

NTP Protocol Support - Getting network time info for serial output or data upload.

Multi Configuration Methods - Supports web browser configuration, obtaining dynamic IP via DHCP, DNS protocol connected domain server address.

RS485 to RJ45 Ethernet Module
A little tricky to set up (at least for me) Mine came pre-programmed with a static IP address rather than a DHCP allocated one, which predictably wasn't on the same IP address range that I use at home. I was only able to figure this out after installing the Waveshare Vircom software on my PC which enabled me to find and configure this adapter. The GUI is basic and littered with spelling mistakes, but you can get it to do what you want with some trial and error. In short, typical cheap Chinese product. Service from Pi Hut was excellent, item was in stock and arrived next day.

RS485 to RJ45 Ethernet Module
Used to create a wired connection for my solax inverter. I had to adjust the size of the DIN rail box as it was slightly too big to fit hence the drop in one star other wise would’ve been 5of5.

Perfect little doo-dad for connecting up modbus devices into HomeAssistant. In my case I got to integrate a FläktGroup RDAS HV system.

Works fine after running the software to change the internal settings so that a modbus rtu 2 wire device data is converted to a modbus tcp ethernet signal.
