Brainboxes ES-522 Industrial Ethernet to Serial 2-Port Multi-Protocol Device Server

Brainboxes Industrial Ethernet to Serial 2xRS232/422/485

The Brainboxes ES-522 is a robust and versatile industrial Ethernet to serial device server designed for demanding environments. Featuring dual ports with software-selectable RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 configurations, it provides seamless serial communication over Ethernet networks. Its slim, DIN rail mountable design with integrated screw terminal blocks simplifies installation and wiring, making it ideal for industrial automation and control systems. Operating reliably within a temperature range from -30°F to +176°F (-40°C to +80°C), the ES-522 ensures consistent performance across diverse conditions. Its dual power inputs, protected against reverse polarity and spanning +5VDC to +30VDC, offer flexible power options suitable for industrial power supplies. Data transfer rates up to 1 million baud (1 MegaBaud) with 1 Mbit/s line drivers facilitate high-speed serial communication, supporting standard baud rates like 9,600, 115,200, 230,000, or 921,600, as well as non-standard, user-defined rates. The device enables serial port tunneling—allowing serial cable replacement over any distance without additional software—making it an ideal solution for remote or distributed systems. Windows virtual COM port drivers and TCP/IP tunneling capabilities support easy integration into existing networks, with APIs compatible with Visual Basic, C#, and other programming environments. The ES-522 also supports communication over TCP/IP, allowing for peer-to-peer serial connections without software dependencies. Packaged with installation utilities, manual, and signed drivers, this device offers a lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term reliability. Its environmentally friendly design complies with WEEE directives and is TAA compliant, originating from the United Kingdom. Whether replacing traditional serial cabling or integrating serial devices into complex network architectures, the Brainboxes ES-522 provides an efficient, durable, and flexible solution for industrial serial communication needs.
