GRID485 Serial Tunnel - Ethernet to RS485/422 Device Server: DIN Rail Clip & Strap

The GRID485 Serial Tunnel is an all in one intelligent RJ45 connector device that converts RS422/485 serial to wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi wireless Ethernet. Based on the new high performance  GRID45 module, the GRID485 device is the updated version of our popular NET485. 

The RS422/485 side can connect to serial devices over long distances (up to 4,000 ft.) making the device web enabled and eliminating the limitations generally imposed by cable length.  Two GRID485s can be used as a cable replacement by using "serial tunneling" through TCP/IP or Ethernet.

The GRID485 supports RS485 in 2-wire mode (half-duplex) or in 4-wire mode (full-duplex). The half-duplex or full-duplex operation is chosen in the device configuration. Using RS485 you can connect the GRID485’s serial interface to multiple devices in a RS485 multi-drop bus.

The Wi-Fi interface supports a SoftAP for easy wireless configuration. A Web Manager provides a browser-based configuration and diagnostic tool. Configuration and device status can be accessed via the setup menu through the serial line or a network port. The unit’s configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and is retained without power.
