1. Introduction

The Brainboxes Ethernet to Serial industrial product range brings the benefits of fast data access and

remote management to asynchronous serial devices by connecting them to the existing local network

infrastructure within your industrial environment. Designed and built on-site with close collaboration

between the hardware and software teams to deliver a product that is both user-friendly and has

plenty of functionality.

The ES industrial product range offers serial devices with support for the RS-232, RS-422 (Full

Duplex) and RS-485 (Full & Half Duplex) serial port standards as well as network communication over

Raw TCP and Telnet. The supplied Windows drivers allow you to use any existing software that uses

COM ports, without modification.

3. Usability Features

The ES industrial range has been designed so that it is as easy as possible to wire up the serial port

and power wires to the terminal blocks and to connect the network cable:

•Removable screw terminal blocks make installation easier and quicker.

•Colour coded terminal blocks and ports prevent an incorrect connection.

•Individually numbered pins simplify the wiring and removes confusion.

•Smart Ethernet which automatically detects the polarity of the Ethernet connection so either a

straight through or crossover Ethernet cable can be used.

•Dual power supply input, for enhanced reliability.

•Functional ground to DIN rail.

4. Hardware Features

Technical Specifications

Network connection

- 10Base-T or 100Base-TX Ethernet connection

- Standard 8P8C (“RJ45”) socket connector

- TCP/IP protocol stack

- DHCP or static IP address

- Automatic transmit/receive crossover detection

- 1500V magnetic isolation

RS-232 Serial Port

- Baud rates up to 1M Baud

- 5, 6, 7 or 8 data bits

- 1, 1.5 or 2 stop bits

- Odd, even, mark, space or no parity bit

- Line-break generation and detection

- RTS/CTS or XON/XOFF flow control option

- ESD protection to 15kV human body model

- Can be connected to as a Windows COM port, as a

Raw TCP socket, or using the RFC2217 standard

- Serial cable length: 10m / 30 feet maximum

RS-422/485 Full Duplex Serial Port

The factory default setting for the ES devices is RS-422 full duplex.

Background Information:

DTR/DSR and CTS/RTS Handshaking is not available.

This mode is generally used between one transmitter / receiver to only one other transmitter /

receiver, but it is possible for each output to drive up to 10 receivers.

Generally, in RS-422 systems, all 4 signal lines from the 5 pin terminal block participate in the data

transfer sequence. Thus 2 twisted pair cables are used. One twisted pair carries the TXD data

outwards, one pair brings the RXD data inward.

- Baud rates up to 1M Baud

- 5, 6, 7 or 8 data bits

- 1, 1.5 or 2 stop bits

- Odd, even, mark, space or no parity bit

- Line-break generation and detection

- XON/XOFF flow control option

- Built-in termination and biasing at receiver inputs

- Can be connected to as a Windows COM port, as a Raw TCP socket, or using the RFC2217

standard

- Serial cable length: 1200 meters / 4000 feet maximum
