We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "RS232 Interface",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Motor control kits offer easy upgrade path from
Technosoft, which we summarised at the time by saying "The MCK28335 kits are complete development platforms that come with a power module and a brushless or an induction motor, providing suitable tools for digital motion control designs".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Compact panel is mount-anywhere HMI from
Kontron UK: "Panel PC forms a complete HMI system for applications that require easy installation via the rear of the machine".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Intertec Hess
concerning its Intertec's 'smart' programmable heater
- take a look at Heater works in harsh process environments
which says: "Intertec's smart heater consists of a heating element plus a networkable digital PID controller with encapsulated electronic circuitry".
Take a look also at the news release from Calibration Dynamics, Data acquisition unit suits pressure scanners,
as well as Motion controller from Micromech,
and Master network added to drives from WEG Electric Motors (UK).
