Several protocols exist in serial communications, such as SPI, USB, RS232, RS485, CAN etc. In order to obtain flexible and fast communication, serial communication nodes were developed. They are generally based on microcontrollers and can be seen as protocol converters. Their capabilities were enriched by adding the remote command possibility, through an Ethernet interface. This paper presents a serial communication node based on the powerful 32 bit MPC5553 microcontroller. It implements a bridge between two SPI, two RS485 and one Ethernet interface. It is used for collecting data from sensors and sending them over the Internet to a testing station. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010.
