• Access a single serial device over your Ethernet network.
• Software selectable for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485.
• Software-selectable interface prevents tampering in the field.
• DB9 male serial connector.
• Autosensing 10-/100-Mbps Ethernet port.
• Completely manageable through any Web browser or Telnet™.
• Supports SNMP manangement.
• Very compact.
• Accepts 12-VDC power via terminal block. Order a 100 - 240-VAC/12-VDC power supply (PS012) separately or order this device server together with a power supply as a kit (LES301A-KIT).
• Features TCP server/client, UDP, Virtual COM, and tunneling modes.
• Software-selectable RS-232/485/422 serial data communications.
• Ideal for controlling a manufacturing or automation device over a LAN.
• Auto MDI/MDI-X Ethernet port. Auto negotiates, autodetects for 10 or 100 Mbps.
• Rugged, metal case that can be wall or DIN rail mounted (mounts included).
• Firmware can be upgraded over an Ethernet network from a remote PC.
• On the serial side, it features 15-kV ESD protection.
• Use your Ethernet network to reliably access a remote RS-232 or RS-422/-485 industrial device from a remote workstation.
• The 1-Port 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 is 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. Ideal for any manufacturing, process engineering, or automation application, the 1-Port 10/100 Device Server, RS-232/422/485 can also be used to communicate with a bar-code scanner, PLC, electronic Kanban inventory management device, and similar equipment on the factory floor.
