Description
Despite Ethernet having become the new backbone standard of Industrial Automation, Serial devices still remain highly relevant today, with numerous devices installed on sites worldwide. So with ATOP’s SE5201C Series, you can transform any serial device into an Ethernet-capable one, allowing you to control and monitor your legacy serial devices via your LAN or WAN – or even over the internet.
With such connectivity, the amount of time required to configure or troubleshoot a serial device located on a factory floor or in a remote location is eliminated. And with such Ethernet-based connectivity, serial devices can be integrated into modern practices such as Industry 4.0 and IIoT, allowing you to extend their lifetime and avoid wholesale device upgrades in the near future.
Featuring 1 x software-selectable Serial Port and 1 x RJ45 Port, the SE5201C Series is a simple-to-install device, with easy configurations options such as Telnet, Web browser, or other Windows utilities. And using the VirtualCOM software, Windows-based applications can access serial devices by mapping the virtual com ports to the SE5201C serial server series.
Encased in a rugged metal housing offering semi-industrial EMC protection, the SE5201C Series is ideal for semi-industrial environments where reliability is a must, such as Warehouses, Barcode Scanners, Data Terminals, Electronic Kanbans, Shop Floor Control Systems, and Pick-to-Light Systems.

SE5201C — frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the SE5201C and the SE5201?
Both have one RS-232/422/485 port, one 10/100 RJ45 port, a 65 × 78 × 28 mm housing and a -40°C to +70°C rating. The SE5201C runs from 5 VDC only with semi-industrial EMC protection; the SE5201 adds a 9-30 VDC input with power redundancy and industrial EMC protection.
What power supply does it need?
A single 5 VDC input. ATOP does not list power redundancy or a 9-30 VDC input for the SE5201C.
What environments is it intended for?
ATOP classes it as an entry-level server with semi-industrial EMC protection, for settings such as warehouses and shop floors. Its selection guide rating is -40°C to +70°C operating and -40°C to +85°C storage, IP30.
Which serial connector does it use?
There are two versions: SE5201C-DB with a DB9 connector and SE5201C-TB with a TB5 terminal block. The port is software selectable between RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 on both.
Does it convert Modbus TCP to Modbus RTU?
ATOP lists serial server modes for the SE5201C (TCP server, TCP client, UDP, VirtualCOM, Reverse Telnet) but no Modbus gateway function. ATOP's single-port Modbus gateway is the MB5201.
How many network connections can it serve?
Up to 4 connections in TCP server mode; TCP client mode is listed as 1/VCOM and UDP supports 4 ranges.
