Description

The W7500S2E-R1 Serial-to-Ethernet Module is an exceptionally cost-effective solution crafted by WIZnet, designed to integrate serial devices into Ethernet networks seamlessly. What sets the W7500S2E-R1 apart is its incorporation of the W7500 microcontroller, which uniquely combines MCU functionality and Ethernet connectivity in a single chip, streamlining the serial-to-Ethernet conversion process and enhancing efficiency. This module stands out for its wide range of features designed to meet the needs of diverse applications. It supports an adjustable baud rate from 300 bps to 460,800 bps, accommodating various communication speeds required by serial devices. The inclusion of a 10/100 Mbps Auto-Negotiation Ethernet interface ensures the module can adapt to the highest available network speeds, providing fast and reliable connections. Moreover, the W7500S2E-R1 is versatile in its operation, supporting TCP server, TCP client, and UDP operating modes. This flexibility allows users to choose the most appropriate communication strategy for their application, whether it’s for simple data transfer or for more complex networking needs. A significant advantage of the W7500S2E-R1 is its smart feature set, including flexible serial interface data packaging condition settings, smart Ethernet cable detection, and keep-alive features. These capabilities ensure that connections are maintained reliably, even in challenging network environments. Additionally, the module acts as a DHCP client to automatically acquire an IP address and as a DNS client to lookup domain names, simplifying network integration and setup. Security and ease of use are also key considerations. The W7500S2E-R1 supports NetBIOS for easy identification of the module within a network and user password authorization to protect against unauthorized access. Configuration is straightforward, thanks to support for serial AT command methods and a built-in web server for browser and remote configuring. To further
