Which version do I need?
This page covers the SE5901B series. ATOP's brochure lists: SE5901B-4G (one RS-232/RS-485 port on DB9, no I/O); SE5901B-IO-4G (TB14 terminal block with one software-selectable RS-485/RS-232 port plus one RS-232 port, and 2 DI / 2 DO); SE5901B-IO-4G-GPS (adds GPS); SE5901B-4G-B, SE5901B-IO-4G-B and SE5901B-IO-4G-GPS-B (add a battery function); and SE5901B-D3G, which the brochure does not describe further. No EU/US band split is listed. Pick IO if you need the second serial port or digital I/O, GPS for location, and a -B code if you need ATOP's battery function. A programmable SE5901B-SDK also exists.
Typical applications for the SE5901B
- Backhauling IO5202 remote I/O or other RS-485 field devices to a cloud server over 4G
- Secure remote access to serial PLCs and RTUs through an IPsec or OpenVPN tunnel
- Remote sites needing a cellular router and serial gateway in one DIN-rail unit
- SMS-based management of unmanned remote stations
- Modbus RTU devices polled over cellular by a Modbus TCP master
- Tracking relocatable equipment with the -GPS versions

SE5901B — frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the SE5901B and the SE5201B?
The SE5901B uses LTE Cat 4 with a single SIM and one 10/100/1000 RJ45 port, adds router functions such as NAT and port forwarding, and operates from -40°C to +70°C. The SE5201B-C1 and -M1 use LTE Cat 1 or Cat M1, with two 10/100 RJ45 ports, up to two SIMs and a -30°C to +75°C rating.
What does the IO version add?
SE5901B-IO codes use a TB14 terminal block carrying one software-selectable RS-485/RS-232 port plus one RS-232 port, and add 2 digital inputs and 2 digital outputs. The standard SE5901B-4G has one RS-232/RS-485 port on DB9.
How fast is its VPN encryption?
ATOP quotes up to 37.9 Mbps of software-assisted AES encryption for IPsec VPN tunnels. OpenVPN and PPTP are also listed.
What does the -B suffix mean?
ATOP lists the -B codes (SE5901B-4G-B, SE5901B-IO-4G-B and SE5901B-IO-4G-GPS-B) with a battery function. The documents do not give battery capacity or hold-up time.
Does it convert Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP?
Not as a listed function. It carries serial data transparently over TCP, UDP, VirtualCOM or Reverse Telnet, which suits most SCADA polling over cellular. For Modbus RTU/ASCII to Modbus TCP conversion ATOP's dedicated model is the MB5901B.
What power and temperature ratings does it have?
It runs on 9-48 VDC and operates from -40°C to +70°C, with storage from -40°C to +85°C, in an IP30 DIN-rail housing.
