RS-485 to LAN (TCP/IP) converter - replacement for discontinued ATC-1000 MAX-CN-ETH-485

RS-485 to LAN (TCP/IP) Converter – Access to Serial Port from Anywhere

This converter allows easy access to devices with an RS-485 interface via Ethernet (LAN) and the TCP/IP protocol. It is an ideal solution for both professional automation system installers and end-users who need remote access to their devices. The converter acts as a serial port server, meaning it allows communication with the RS-485 device as if it were directly connected to a computer.

Universal Application and Compatibility

The MAX-CN-ETH-485 converter is a direct replacement for the discontinued ATC-1000 model from F&F, ensuring seamless replacement in existing installations. Thanks to support for TCP/IP, UDP and DHCP protocols, the converter is compatible with most operating systems and networks. The ability to expose the IP address on the Internet allows access to the device from anywhere in the world.

Functionality and Ease of Use

The converter has a DB-9 male connector for the RS-232 side and a 6-pin terminal for RS-422/485 and power. The 10/100TX network interface provides a stable connection to the Ethernet network. If you need to restore the factory settings, simply use the RESET button – turn off the power, unscrew the housing, press and hold the button located near the RJ45 connector while turning the power back on for at least 5 seconds.
