The Compact-S-485 is plug-and-play stackable Wi-Fi module. It is a RS485 to Wi-Fi Converter.
The Compact-S-485 is server type Wi-Fi module. It is characterized by the capability to create a Wi-Fi network with its own IP factory editable and allow other Wi-Fi devices to connect to it.
Just a few configuration steps a quick and easy process, using our SW-Configurator issued free of charge to transfer and receive signals from the serial port, with an external RS485 transceiver, of the host device and the wireless network TCP/IP.
Thanks to its compact size and extremely low power consumption, it is perfect for mobile applications such as wireless activity monitoring, sensors and portable devices battery. With modules Compact-S-485 implements the concept of Internet-of-Things.
INTERFACES
Compact-S-485 permits, through an external RS485 transceiver, to enable the transmission PIN of the RS485 communication.
NO SOFTWARE NEEDED
The Compact-S-485 modules are immediately ready to be used.
Thanks to Wiicom configurator software (Compact Ready Go), available on wiicom website, user can define all Wi-Fi network settings.
There’s no need to develope or modify any software on the host board.
EVALUATION BOARD
Wiicom offers to the evaluator a COMPACT-EVB board, which together with your Compact-S-485 in a few minutes, industrial devices will connect on Wi-Fi, eliminating time hardware and software development.
Compact-S-485 is a module of very small dimension (42 x 23 x 5 mm), characterized by a very low power on which a TCP / IP module, a micro processor and an antenna are incorporated.
OTHER INFORMATION
The COMPACT-S-485 is an ideal solution for OEMs that have a limited Wi-Fi or RF expertise. In fact the COMPACT-S eliminates development time on board of equipments, the burden of testing and certification, allowing customers to exclusively focus on core product.
