Meet the Brainboxes Industrial Ethernet to Serial adapter, a rugged two-port bridge that delivers reliable, flexible serial connectivity over Ethernet for demanding industrial environments. Designed to connect modern IP networks to legacy serial devices, this compact device is ideal for factory automation, remote telemetry, and SCADA integrations. The ES-522 model (2-port) offers software-selectable configurations that adapt to RS232, RS422/485 full duplex, or RS422 half duplex, giving you the exact serial topology your equipment requires while preserving network efficiency and data integrity. Built with a slim, end-on enclosure, removable screw-terminal blocks for easy on-site wiring, and a robust DIN rail mounting option, it is engineered to withstand harsh industrial conditions and to install quickly in control cabinets or on equipment racks.

  • Two independent serial ports with software-selectable modes: RS232, RS422/485 (full duplex), or RS422 half duplex, enabling flexible, scalable serial architectures without swapping hardware.
  • Ethernet-to-Serial bridging for remote device management and networked data collection, allowing seamless integration of serial devices into modern networks and cloud-enabled monitoring systems.
  • Removable screw-terminal blocks for fast, secure wiring and simplified field maintenance, combined with a slim, end-on case and integral DIN rail mounting for space-saving installations.
  • Rugged, industrial-grade design optimized for harsh environments, offering a robust solution for factory floors, outdoor enclosures, and mobile equipment (exact operating range available in official specifications).
  • User-friendly configuration and management through standard network tools and Brainboxes utilities, enabling straightforward port setup, baud rates, parity, and timing to match your serial devices and application requirements.

How to install Brainboxes Industrial Ethernet to Serial 2xRS232/422/485

Installing the Brainboxes ES-522 is a straightforward process that minimizes downtime and maximizes reliability in automated systems.

Step 1: Plan the installation. Identify the two serial devices that will connect to the ES-522 ports and determine whether each link will use RS232, RS422 full duplex, or RS422 half duplex. Check that your Ethernet network has appropriate IP addressing and that you have the necessary configuration tools from Brainboxes or your network management software.

Step 2: Mount the device. Attach the ES-522 to a suitable DIN rail or panel location. If you are using the removable screw-terminal blocks, ensure the chassis is accessible for easy wiring and future maintenance. The compact, end-on design helps you fit the unit into tight control cabinets or equipment enclosures.

Step 3: Wire the serial connections. Connect your RS-232 or RS-422/485 devices to the corresponding screw terminals as required. For RS-422/485, observe the correct A/B differential lines and termination recommendations if your network requires biasing or line termination. Verify pinouts against your devices to prevent cross-wiring and ensure stable signal integrity.

Step 4: Connect Ethernet and power. Run an Ethernet cable from your network switch or gateway to the ES-522’s Ethernet port. Provide the appropriate power supply per the official specifications. Powering the unit will initiate the boot process and prepare it for configuration.

Step 5: Configure port settings. Use the Brainboxes configuration utility or the connected network management tool to assign IP settings (static or DHCP as supported), select the desired serial mode for each port (RS232, RS422/485 full duplex, or RS422 half duplex), and configure baud rate, data bits, parity, and stop bits to match the connected devices. Save the configuration and reboot if required.

Step 6: Validate operation. Test each serial link with a terminal program or SCADA/HMI software to confirm that data is transmitted correctly over the Ethernet bridge. Check for data integrity, latency, and any error indicators in the device’s status or management interface. If issues arise, revisit wiring and serial parameters to ensure compatibility with your devices.

Step 7: Integrate into the workflow. Once validated, document the configuration for ongoing maintenance and integrate the ES-522 into your network topology, firewall rules, and monitoring dashboards to ensure continuous visibility and control over your serial-enabled assets.

Anker adapters
These Anker adapters honestly saved me. The quality feels very premium and they work perfectly with no disconnecting or recognition issues. I used them to connect USB-C accessories and everything worked instantly and smoothly. They’re compact, durable, and super convenient to carry around for my content creation setup. The metallic finish also feels much more reliable compared to cheaper adapters I’ve tried before. Definitely recommend this brand if you want something dependable and high quality for your devices. ✨

Very Well-Made and Works Great!
I have a Macbook Pro, and naturally, these computers don't come with USB ports to connect to. That's why I bought these adapters. I needed some high quality ones that I know will last me for a long time, and given that I own my Anker products, I figured these would be a great purchase. And they are! These adapters are very well built. There's a bit of heft to them, and they feel very stable when plugged into my computer. There's no noise or distraction coming from them. You just plug it in and that's it. I have never once had any connectivity issues where the adapter, for whatever reason, stops working and I have to unplug it and then plug it back it. No, it works straight from the box and hasn't given me any issues. These are great adapters because they're built very sturdy, will not cause any connectivity issues, and are nice if you want to use a mouse or connect a USB stick to your Macbook.

Simple Solution for Using USB-A Cables with USB-C Chargers
I used these for the first time last week when I needed to plug a USB-A cable into a newer USB-C charger. They worked exactly as expected. The connection was solid, and the device powered on without any issues. I’ve generally had good experiences with Anker products, and these adapters are consistent with that—simple and reliable for what they’re designed to do. These are useful for bridging older USB-A cables with newer USB-C power sources, especially for basic charging needs. Build quality feels solid for the size, and they’re small enough to keep with your cables without getting in the way. Overall: a straightforward and reliable adapter for using USB-A cables with USB-C chargers.

Great product, mic and camera compatible
I bought this to use a webcam with a built-in mic on my Microsoft Windows Surface Pro 8. When I first plugged in the webcam both the camera and the mic were recognized, however the mic was not picking up sound. After double checking the device settings, my privacy settings, the device drivers, and everything else I simply unplugged and replugged the camera in. Then everything worked as I had hoped. Great value for a great product. I trust Anker to reliably protect and provide stability for all of my devices. Simple product, plug and play. Sleek, simple design
