PH485Ex2
bidirectional communication terminal server/client is a simple solution for
connecting serial devices to a network which results in having 2 RS-485 or RS-422 serial ports over
Ethernet network. This converter uses transparent communicate protocol, so it is not required to
understand complex Ethernet TCP/IP protocol, and no modification in serial programs is needed. It
operates as a Real COM, TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Server and UDP Client Full-Duplex converter
and supports bidirectional connection.
Protection against Surge, ESD and EMI is implemented in its design and it has 3kV isolation between
Ethernet and RS-485/RS-422 sides. Furthermore, all the RS-485/RS-422 ports are insulated from each
other too.

is designed for industrial usage and is useful for connecting any device with a serial
interface to a computer via Ethernet supported network like LAN, WAN … and can be used in
Industrial Automation, Telecommunications, SCADA Systems, DCS Systems ….
