10/100 Device Server RS232/422/485

Use your Ethernet network to reliably access one remote RS-232 or RS-422/-485 industrial devices from a remote workstation.

The 10/100 Device Server gives you a cost-effective gateway for TCP/IP Ethernet and serial signal communications, enabling nearly any serial device to be connected to a new or existing Ethernet network.

It does this by encapsulating serial data and transporting it over Ethernet, communicating full-duplex and transmitting bidirectional data transparently between the serial port and a network.

Plus, it’s easy to configure. You can do this remotely over the Ethernet link using Telnet, a Web browser link, a serial console, or another Windows utility.

Even better, it comes with virtual communications software. Through it, you can use an existing Windows based application to access a serial device by mapping the virtual COM port to a remote serial server over Ethernet.

In addition, the device server supports TCP server, TCP client, and UDP modes of communication, and serial tunneling, which you can use to send data between two serial devices via the TCP/IP link instead of RS-232, -485, or -422 connections. Link a touchscreen to a distant PLC over the Ethernet network, for instance. (NOTE: Multiple units needed for TCP client and tunneling modes.)

Ideal for any manufacturing, process engineering, or automation application, the 10/100 Device Server can also be used to communicate with a barcode scanner, PLC, electronic Kanban inventory management device, and similar equipment on the factory floor.
