As a senior engineer at yeaplink, I have spent considerable time researching and implementing RS232 connections between industrial routers and various devices. This article summarizes my original insights and practical experiences in this field.The process of connecting an industrial router to other devices using RS232 can be divided into two main parts:
In practical applications, I encountered an interesting case where a client needed to integrate an old industrial controller with RS232 interface into a modern network monitoring system. We connected the controller to our industrial router via the RS232 interface, then uploaded the data in real-time to a cloud platform through a 4G network. This not only solved the networking issue for the old equipment but also enabled remote monitoring and data analysis, significantly improving factory operational efficiency.Another challenge was dealing with different device communication protocols. Sometimes, RS232 devices might use non-standard or proprietary protocols. To address this, we developed a flexible protocol parsing framework that allows users to define their own protocol parsing rules using a simple scripting language. This greatly increased the adaptability of our routers, enabling seamless integration with various specialized devices.In conclusion, connecting industrial routers to other devices via RS232 is a process that comprehensively considers hardware compatibility, software flexibility, and practical application requirements. Through careful design and configuration, our industrial routers can serve as a crucial bridge connecting traditional RS232 devices to the modern network world, providing strong support for industrial automation and digital transformation.
As an engineer at Xingchuang Yilian, I have recently conducted an in-depth study of the principles behind RS232 and RS485 interface data communication between industrial routers and other devices. This study note records my research findings and r...
