Connect smart meters via the rs485 modbus standard to a computer Local Are Network using this practical and inexpensive gateway interface between RS485 serial port and RJ45 Ethernet.
WE use this gateway as a key component for Automated Meter Reading systems for Electric, Water and Gas smart meters.  It can also be used for other automated control systems as gate open / close conttol, remote ON/OFF devices.
Please contact us for more details on specific solutions.
Product Description

Eastron  ESP-2143 can realize the data transparent transmit between RS232/485/422 and TCP/IP, easily make serial devices connected to Ethernet and Internet, achieving the network upgrading for serial devices. Support full duplex and uninterrupted communication of RS232/485/422 port; RS485/422 are embedded with lightning protection; RS485/422 and RS232 can be used at the same time without switch. Support DHCP, DNS. Support virtual serial port, the original serial PC software no need any modifying.

 
Features

1)    Full duplex, high speed converting, and no packet lost.

               Low cost serial server.
Simultaneously converts large amounts of data between Ethernet & Serial protocols with no pause, and no data is lost.

2)    Stability and performance at low cost.

3)    Supports TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP model, UDP multicast.

4)    Supports baud rates from 1200 to 115200bps, data size 5~9bits, parity of None, Odd, Even, Mark, Space. Support CTS/RTS hardware flow control.

5)    Embedded 485/422 lightning protection function, suitable for outdoor 485/422 communication.

6)    Easy to use configuration software included  to modifying parameters
7)    Provides device management library (Windows DLL library). Convenient for user to develop programs with VC, VB, Delphi, C++ Builder. Use provided software to read or write parameters form/to
 the gateway

8)    Innovative disconnecting detecting method, whether working in TCP Server mode or TCP Client mode, it can automatically reestablish connection after network outages to ensure the data real-time accessibility.

9)    With build-in Web server, its parameters can be modified by web browser.

10) Supports DHCP, easy for IP management and solve IP confliction.

11) Supports DNS. It fulfills the need of access data server through a domain name.

12) Supports 100 TCP connections communicating with network modules at the same time.

13) As a TCP client, it can connect to 8 destination IPs.

14) Flexible serial data framing setting. It fulfills all serial data frame requirements.

15) UDP mode supports dynamic destination address mode. It helps for multi-user to manage one serial server.

16) Real Com Driver mode support using the 9-th bit to facilitate communication with milt-device. (the 9-th bit being 0 means data frame and 1 means address frame).

17) Supports searching serial servers and modifying parameters through Internet remotely

18) Supports parameter modifying protection, preventing modifying by accident. Supports running with default parameters.

19) Build-in 2 KV electrical plus protection in RJ45.

20) High protection of electromagnetic interference. With its high electromagnetic interference protection SECC external shell.
