Compact industrial serial-to-Ethernet converter with dual ports and status LEDs

Barrow Mods

Barrow Mods 2 in 1 accessory RS232/RS485 to Ethernet converter

SKU CH-VSQB-QF854

Converts RS232 and RS485 serial signals to 10/100M Ethernet with a 32-bit ARM processor at 120MHz for bi-directional transparent data transmission

  • Industrial serial-to-Ethernet bridging with 120 MHz ARM processor
  • Dual RS232 and RS485 ports operate simultaneously without interference
  • 10/100M Auto-MDI/MDIX accepts straight or crossover cables
  • Webpage, AT command and protocol configuration options
  • Modbus and WebSocket support for industrial automation integration

Dual Serial-to-Ethernet Gateway

The Barrow Mods 2 in 1 accessory converts RS232 and RS485 signals to a 10/100M Ethernet link. An onboard 32-bit ARM processor running at up to 120MHz handles bi-directional transparent data transmission. Both serial ports operate independently at the same time without interference. Configuration is performed through a web interface, AT commands or serial and network protocols.

Industrial Integrators Needing Dual-Port Conversion

Engineers who require simultaneous RS232 and RS485 connectivity over a single RJ45 drop will benefit from the independent dual-port design. The converter supports TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Server, UDP Client and HTTPD Client modes plus Modbus and Websocket. Buyers who only need a single serial interface or who require gigabit Ethernet bandwidth should evaluate other options.

Sustained Operation With Heartbeat Monitoring

Under continuous load the ARM processor maintains stable throughput across the configurable 600 to 230.4K bps range with five parity choices. Custom heartbeat packets verify link integrity and enable active sensor polling during long runs. Multi-colour status indicators provide real-time visibility of communication health without interrupting the data stream.

Questions about this item

What serial ports must my equipment provide to connect to the RS232 and RS485 interfaces?

Your equipment needs one RS232 port and one RS485 port; both interfaces on the converter can operate independently at the same time.

Will the 10/100M Ethernet port link automatically with my older 10 Mbps switch?

Yes, the Auto-MDI/MDIX 10/100M port negotiates speed and cable polarity, so it works with 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps gear using straight or crossover cables.

Which indicator LEDs confirm that bi-directional data is flowing through both serial ports?

Multi indicators show communication and working status; watch the TX/RX LEDs for each serial port and the Ethernet link/activity lights to verify traffic.
