Advantech Data gateway RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 Advantech EKI-1

Advantech's EKI-1521 features two independent Ethernet ports and MAC addresses to provide a redundant network mechanism to guarantee Ethernet network reliability. EKI-1521 is a serial device servers that connects RS-232/422/485 serial devices, such as PLC, meters, sensors, and barcode readers to an IP-based Ethernet LAN. The EKI-1521 allows nearly any device with serial ports to connect and share an Ethernet network. Various operations are possible: COM port redirection (Virtual COMport), TCP Server, TCP Client and UDP mode. With COM port redirection mode, standard serial operation calls are transparently redirected to the EKI-1521, guaranteeing compatibility with legacy serial devices and enabling backward compatibility with existing software. With TCP server, TCP client, and UDP modes, EKI-1521 ensures the compatibility of network software that uses a standard network API. In addition, you can make serial devices communicate with other devices peer-to-peer, without any intermediate host PCs and software...
