RED LION FlexEdge Advanced IIoT Gateway 3-Sled RS-232 RS-485 DIN Rail Gateway

Imagine a factory floor where data never gets lost, even when power flickers. The RED LION FlexEdge Advanced IIoT Gateway 3-Sled RS-232 RS-485 DIN Rail Gateway is a compact, rugged device that links legacy machines to modern cloud platforms. If you struggle with unreliable serial connections or costly downtime, this gateway gives you a steady bridge between old equipment and new analytics.

RED LION FlexEdge Advanced IIoT Gateway 3-Sled RS-232 RS-485 DIN Rail Gateway

Many plants still run machines that speak only RS-232 or RS-485. Those signals often sit idle because the network cannot read them, leading to missed alerts and slower production. This matters because every minute of unknown equipment status can cost money and safety. The FlexEdge gateway captures those serial streams, adds battery backup, and pushes the data to your SCADA, cloud, or edge analytics in real time, so you always know what is happening.

Benefits

• Never lose data during power loss thanks to built-in battery backup.
• Connect up to three serial devices on a single DIN rail, saving space.
• Instant cloud integration reduces the need for extra middleware.
• Simple web interface lets you configure settings without a specialist.
• Secure TLS encryption protects your industrial data from cyber threats.

Usages

The gateway fits perfectly in a manufacturing line that still uses PLCs with RS-485 ports. It can also sit in a water-treatment plant where sensors report via RS-232, feeding real-time readings to a remote monitoring dashboard. In a warehouse, barcode scanners that only speak serial can be linked to a central inventory system. Anywhere you need to turn old serial data into modern IoT messages, this device provides the link.

Key Features

• Three independent sleds for RS-232/RS-485 connections.
• 1 GB memory for local buffering of data streams.
• 24 V supply voltage compatible with standard DIN rail power.
• Battery backup ensures operation during short outages.
• Web-based configuration with drag-and-drop mapping.
• Supports MQTT, OPC UA, and RESTful APIs for cloud communication.
• Temperature-controlled module design for harsh environments.
• Built-in TLS 1.2 encryption for secure data transfer.
• LED status indicators for power, network, and battery health.
• Compact DIN-rail footprint saves valuable panel space.
