I. Project Background: Solving Industrial Communication Integration Challenges
In modern industrial automation systems, we often face the following challenges:
Numerous RS-485/422/232 serial devices cannot be directly connected to industrial Ethernet networks
Traditional solutions require multiple devices (serial gateways + fiber optic switches), resulting in complex systems and high costs
Difficulty in achieving data exchange and centralized management between devices using different protocols
