Take Industrial Operations to the Next Level with Serial over Ethernet Switch
The Serial over Ethernet Industrial Switch is equipped with a rugged IP40 metal enclosure to ensure industrial operation in harsh environments where extremely low or high temperatures can be experienced. It is specially designed for outdoor and industrial applications such as city surveillance systems, smart manufacturing, etc. It is ideal for smart lamp post applications, and rapid deployment provides users with a cost-effective and highly reliable option.

The Future of Industrial IoT is Here: Get Connected with Serial Over Ethernet Switch
The future of industrial IoT is here, and it’s time to get connected with a serial over ethernet switch. This technology offers a number of advantages for industries that are looking to take their operations to the next level. Serial over ethernet switch provides a high-speed connection between devices and helps to facilitate communication between them. This means that data can be transferred more quickly and efficiently between devices, allowing for better decision-making and faster response times. In addition, serial over ethernet switch is more robust and reliable than other methods of connecting devices, making it ideal for mission-critical applications.

Streamline Your Serial Communication With Fiberroad’s Industrial Switch
Fiberroad Serial over Ethernet Industrial Switch provides an all-in-one solution. It converts RS232/422/485 connections to Ethernet connections, allowing seamless communication between traditional serial-based devices such as PLC, meters, sensors, and barcode readers to an IP-based Ethernet device. More importantly, the industrial switch is fully compliant with Modbus/TCP and offers a convenient solution for connecting existing devices or controllers running the Modbus serial protocol(Modbus/ACSCII or Modbus/RTU) to an Ethernet network.

Build Up Secure Network with L2+ Industrial Switch
FR-7M3208S provides robust Layer 2+ Gigabit network connectivity, including but not limited to Static route, LAN network security, ACL/QoS policy… Moreover, By configuring ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) technology, Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP), and redundant power systems in industrial automation networks to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh environments. As can be seen, the Managed Industrial Switch is easy to manage and maintain.
Manage the Industrial Network Anytime, Anywhere
Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch allows various network management methods, such as the WebGUI, CLI and NMS. The notion of easy to use, particularly with no additional hardware investment and installation. Industrial Network Switch can deploy centralised management, Layer 2 to Layer 4 QoS, Bandwidth allocation, real-time monitoring, etc.

Serial over Ethernet Switch FAQs
The Serial over Ethernet industrial switch works by converting existing serial connections (RS-232/422/485) to Ethernet connections, allowing for communication between serial-based devices and IP-based Ethernet devices. It is also fully compliant with Modbus/TCP protocol and provides an easy solution for connecting existing devices or controllers running the Modbus serial protocol. Furthermore, the industrial switch provides real-time data access, secure network transmissions, remote diagnostic capabilities, multiple operating modes, and more. With its powerful yet flexible features, this industrial switch is ideal for both short-term and long-term applications.
Setting up ITU-T G.8032 ERPS on our industrial switch is simple and straightforward. With the intuitive web-based user interface, you can easily configure multiple rings with just a few clicks. Moreover, our advanced ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) technology enables automatic node switching in case of any link failure, ensuring complete redundancy and maximum system uptime even in harsh environments.
The Serial over Ethernet switch is easy to set up and requires no special configuration. First, connect the switch to your local area network using a standard Ethernet cable. Then, connect your serial devices to the appropriate serial ports on the switch using RS-232/422/485 cables (depending on what type of serial devices you are connecting). Finally, you can use the integrated web interface or Modbus/TCP protocol to configure and manage the switch for further customization.
The Modbus/TCP Protocol is a communications protocol built with industrial applications in mind. It’s designed as a master-slave protocol, meaning that one device (the master) sends requests to other devices (the slaves) and can receive responses from them. The Serial over Ethernet Switch allows you to use this protocol by converting existing serial connections (RS-232/422/485) to Ethernet connections, allowing for communication between serial-based devices and IP-based Ethernet devices.
