User manual Version 1.3 4-Port DIN-Rail Serial Device Server SE5404D 1. Introduction Many industrial and Commercial devices equipped with slow serial communication ports—RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422—are limited in their transmission distance of 15 m. Examples of these devices are PLC controllers, card readers, display signs, security controls, CNC controller, etc. ATOP Technologies has overcome the limit with a family of SE5404D Series Serial Device Servers.
