Description

The WIZ500SR-RP is a state-of-the-art Serial-to-Ethernet module that leverages the power of the RP2040 microcontroller unit (MCU) along with the W5100S Ethernet chip. Designed with efficiency in mind, this module acts as a protocol converter, seamlessly transmitting data between serial equipment and the TCP/IP network. This makes the WIZ500SR-RP an ideal choice for applications requiring reliable data communication over the internet without the need for extensive modifications to existing serial devices. Key to its functionality is the module's utilization of the RP2040 MCU, renowned for its robust performance and flexibility. Combined with the W5100S Ethernet chip, the module supports 10/100Mbps Ethernet connectivity, ensuring fast and reliable network communication. The serial communication capabilities are equally impressive, with support for up to 230kbps serial speed. This makes the WIZ500SR-RP versatile enough to handle a wide range of applications, from simple sensor networks to more complex control systems. Physically, the WIZ500SR-RP is remarkably compact, measuring just 50 x 30 x 5.7 mm. This small form factor, along with its 2mm pitch 1x12 Pin-header, makes it easy to integrate into existing projects or products without requiring significant space. The module also features dedicated status pins for PHY link status and TCP connection status, alongside support for multiple serial signals including UART and optional DTR/DSR signals. What sets the WIZ500SR-RP apart is its dual UART support, one for data transceive and the other for debug purposes, alongside an Ethernet port for network communication. This design allows for separate channels for data and debugging, enhancing the module's utility and ease of use. Configuration can be performed via serial AT commands or a dedicated configuration tool, offering flexibility in setup and deployment. Additionally, the module supports the WIZ VSP (Virtual Serial Port) program, further extending its capabilities an
