The TRP-C36 is a fast single-port fully opto-isolated RS-232 / RS-422 / RS-485 serial to Ethernet converter. It is designed to convert serial data from a synchronous RS-232 / RS-422 / RS485 port to a 10/100Mbps Ethernet network running using the TCP/IP protocol. This provides a straightforward method of connecting a remote serial peripheral eg. sensor, serial printer etc to an Ethernet network and then allows data to be read from / sent to this remote peripheral by sending data from a single PC over the Ethernet network. Typical applications include remote monitoring of serial sensors / transducers in factory control systems.

The TRP-C36 device can be operated via Windows, Linux and UNIX without the need to modify existing software. It is capable of operating in “Direct IP Mode”, “Virtual COM Mode”, and “Paired Mode” making it very versatile and suitable for most serial networking applications. It also offers a Heart Beat feature to ensure a reliable communicating connection. The TRP-C31 will work with 'Loop back Mode' where all data is sent back immediately. This feature makes the connection testing easy.

The TRP-C36 features 3 kV DC isolation between the serial and Ethernet ports plus internal surge protection to protect the converter against high input voltage spikes and ground potential differences.

The industry standard DIN rail design enables fast and professional installation.
