Connection diagram

For the communication, TCP server, TCP client or UDP can be used. In addition to standard types of communication, Edgar can send packets from / to the serial line via HTTP GET. From a web server, the data packet can be sent as an HTTP GET request. Similarly, if the data on a serial line for example, from a connected barcode reader comes in, the converter can send the data to the web server as an HTTP GET request.

Edgar comes in a rugged metallic enclosure and can be DIN rail mounted (optional).
