RS232 to Ethenet

Jon R · Mar 30, 2007

Does anyone know of a good rs232 to ethernet converter.

I need to connect an Idec touchscreen and PLC but their small one only uses RS232, and due to the project manager changing his mind the PLC needs to be located about 100m from the screen.

Cheers,

Jon.

Do some more homework

Look on this site a little harder. This has been discussed several times.

we use westemo modems and gprs modems you can get lots of good support for them i know they do rs232 to ethernet but we have never used them

I have used the westermo once for a modbus from RS485 to ethernet. Works fine.

funny you should mention that, i got a call today about mits FX2N ethernet connection instead of using westemo GPRS modem. I don't think we are going to use a westemo ethernet modual Mit's make a ethernet modual which sits on the FX2N bus.

Try the DeviceMaster RTS, or DeviceMaster AIR products. The Air offers wired or wireless in one unit, and can be bought through our site for only $99.

If you'd like to evaluate one free for 60 days, please contact me, and I'd be happy to arrange this for you.

Jon,
Our gateway sends RS232/485 to Ethernet if your using an AB PLC. You can send strings or integers. Sends data right to the tag or address. Use the web browser to setup. Very simple and reliable. Look at it here:

B&B electronics and Moxa both make easy to use models with practically the same options.

I wasn't fond of Lantronix the one time I dealt with it, but I'm speaking from increadibly limited exposure to their products.
