Description

Technical documentation

WiFi serial server with RS232 / RS485 port with Vout power output, which can power an external device and turn it on and off remotely. TCP, UDP, and HTTP GET protocols. Easy configuration via web interface.

What Makes Edgar Unique?

It has a controlled V-OUT voltage output, which can power an external device and turn it on and off remotely. The VOUT output can be 5, 9, 12, or 24 V and can be controlled via WEB or HTTP GET.

Communication

HTTP GET that allows easy access to the serial port from a WEB server.

Wide range of supply voltages from 11 to 58 V DC.

A classic TCP server, a TCP client, or UDP can be used for communication. In addition to standard communications, Edgar WiFi can send packets from/to the serial line via HTTP GET. The data packet can be sent as an HTTP GET request from the web server. Similarly, if data is sent to a serial line (e.g., from a connected barcode reader), the converter can send the data to the web server as an HTTP GET request.

Edgar comes in a sturdy metal case and can be mounted on a DIN rail (optional).

WiFi Conversion Applications

Connect serial devices to your Wi-Fi.

Wireless communication with remote devices via the Internet.

Legacy devices can be easily connected to a computer network.

Improve cable management: Wi-Fi to Ethernet connection.

VOUT Power Output

The VOUT power output can also power the connected device. Therefore, no additional power supply is needed. The power output can be turned on or off via the web interface or via HTTP GET, so power consumption can be reduced, or the connected device can be restarted.

The power output is DC, and the voltage is determined by the switches on the side of the converter. The power output can be turned on or off via the web interface. The output voltages can be selected using a DIP switch on the side of the device. You can choose from the following options:

5 V/max. 630 mA

9 V/max. 350 mA

12 V/max. 260 mA

24 V/max. 130 mA

How Does HTTP GET Work in an Ethernet-to-serial Converter?

This feature allows data from the serial port to be sent as HTTP GET requests to a remote server. In the reverse direction, data from the remote server can be sent to the serial line directly by responding to the GET request sent by the converter.

The connection can also be initiated from the remote server side. The server sends HTTP GET to the set.xml script on the converter. The data can be sent as an ASCII character string or in hexadecimal format as binary data.

GET communication can optionally be protected with 128-bit AES encryption.
