EXSYS EX-6051IS Industrial Ethernet to RS-422/485 Serial Device Server with Optical Isolation, Metal Housing

Legacy RS-422/485 serial equipment often lacks a direct Ethernet connection, making integration into modern IP networks difficult. The EXSYS EX-6051IS bridges this gap by converting Ethernet to one RS-422/485 serial port, enabling remote access and control of industrial devices such as PLCs, meters, and sensors.

Who is it for

System integrators and industrial users who need to connect serial devices to a network without replacing existing hardware. Its metal housing and DIN-rail/wall mounting make it suitable for harsh environments.

Main features

• Ethernet to RS-422/485 conversion with auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet.
• Optical isolation 2.5 kV and ESD protection 15 kV on the serial port.
• Supports RS-422 (4-wire) and RS-485 (2-wire/4-wire) via 5-pin terminal block.
• Baud rates from 300 bps to 921.6 Kbps.
• Operating modes: Virtual COM, TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP.

Tips

Use the virtual COM driver to retain existing serial software while communicating over Ethernet. For RS-485 multidrop networks, ensure proper termination and biasing.
