Serial communication, without the development slog
TF DeviceManager is a serial communication manager that connects, identifies, and communicates with external devices through RS232/485 interfaces. It powers gateway and data acquisition units that handle multiple peripheral serial interfaces, supports protocols such as MODBUS, PROFIBUS, and virtually any legacy protocol, and places no limits on the variety of serial devices it can bring into a single system. From valves, light panels, and fans to touch screen user interfaces and beyond, TF DeviceManager turns a tangle of serial peripherals into a clean, manageable fabric.
Key Highlights
Slash the turnaround time of serial module development
Accelerate new product development initiatives
Support every type of gateway device, with or without IoT
Give product engineering teams a flexible foundation to build on
How It Works
TF DeviceManager is an end-to-end web service platform for fast and easy device configuration, control, and management. It can be configured through Android, iOS, Control, Crestron, and other operating environments, and fully supports cloud IoT platforms including Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services.
Features
