Developing an Ethernet-enabled embedded device involves more than establishing a network connection. Engineers must also consider power delivery, electrical isolation, PCB space, and overall system reliability. These challenges become particularly important in industrial IoT applications, where devices are often installed in remote locations or environments with limited access to power outlets. Platypus addresses these challenges... Continue Reading →
Serial-to-Ethernet with Modbus and MQTT Connectivity
Serial communication remains widely used in industrial equipment, measurement instruments, controllers, and embedded systems. However, modern applications increasingly require these devices to communicate over Ethernet networks, integrate with monitoring systems, or exchange data with IoT platforms. The PP-Ethernet-UART-MINI provides more than basic Serial-to-Ethernet conversion. In addition to bridging UART and Ethernet communication, it supports Modbus... Continue Reading →
