Ethernet/485 Interface

Ethernet/485 Interface

Ethernet/485 Interface

(OP)
Before I meet with my design consultant about adding ethernet to our temperature control I'd like to do a little research myself.  We manufacture a temperature control that has a 485 bus.  I am hoping to design a tiny proprietary ethernet interface that will connect to our 485.  Can you recommend a supplier for the ethernet connection components?  I have seen similar devices that are barely larger than the RJ45 connector but I do not remember who makes it.

Lantronix?

If we learn from our mistakes I'm getting a great education!

MacGyver, I would like to find a product that has the wire connection with the control components packaged so that all we have to do is add a microcontroller and a 485 transceiver.

ScottyUK, thank you for the Lantronix reference.  I have made an inquiry with them as it looks like they offer products we need.

We've had good luck with the Gridconnect CG-NET485-01.
