overview

　The LNX-504W is a converter that can communicate with 4-wire (full duplex) RS-422 devices located at a distance via Wi-Fi.
For communication with 2-wire (half duplex) RS-485 devices, the LNX-503W is available.
It supports dual-band (2.4GHz/5GHz) IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n wireless standards and can be used in various Wi-Fi environments. It
　supports multiple connections of up to four devices at the same time, allowing communication with RS-422 devices from multiple PCs and tablets. The baud rate on the RS-422 side can be set to a custom (arbitrary) baud rate within the range of 9,600 to 4M bps.
　It is possible to install multiple LNX-504Ws and connect them in tunneling mode without going through a PC. It can also be used to wirelessly connect RS-422 devices to each other via Wi-Fi and extend the signal.
　Various settings such as Wi-Fi and serial communication can be easily written via USB using our original setting tool (LNX SETTING TOOL). It is also possible to back up and import configuration data, allowing you to quickly configure multiple devices sequentially.

*Cannot be used overseas as it requires certification according to the radio laws of each country.

Connection Topology

[LNX-504W only (terminal mode)]

    Wifi   

You can communicate with RS-422 devices located far away from your PC via an access point such as a Wi-Fi router.

[LNX-504W alone (Access Point Mode)]

  Wifi  

The built-in access point function of the product allows communication with RS-422 devices in remote locations.

[Tunneling connection between LNX-504W]

   Wifi  

LNX-504W can communicate directly with each other without the need for a PC, and can wirelessly extend RS-422 signals.

[Connect LNX-011W and LNX-504W via tunneling and use RS-422]

   Wifi 

You can communicate with RS-422 devices in remote locations via Wi-Fi from the USB interface. For communication with
the LNX-011W,
you can use FTDI's virtual COM port or D2XX-API. No network knowledge is required for programming.
