The ESR series of industrial Ethernet serial servers will make its world debut on booth 4705 at US National Manufacturing Week from 7th to 10th March 2005 in Chicago.

This line of DIN rail mount Ethernet servers will be available with one, two or four serial ports.

Each port is configurable to suit RS232, RS422 or RS485 serial and operates on industrial range AC or DC power.

Wireless is the word in leading edge datacommunications products, and B and B Electronics will also exhibit new wireless 802.11 Wi-Fi compliant serial servers.

One, two and four port versions will be available.

DIN rail mount cases and industrial range power allow easy installation in NEMA boxes.

Another product launch at the show will be the EIR series of five and eight port compact DIN rail mount 802.3 Ethernet switches.

These competitively priced switches will reduce traffic and improve the reliability of Ethernet networks.

The new copper/fibre single- and multimode switches accept 8-24V AC or DC power inputs.

Also at the show, there will be a show-and-tell by B and B Electronics on its recent custom wireless work for a major nuclear power plant.

This included an 802.15.4 wireless mesh network to transmit diagnostic serial data from 2500 horsepower electric motors to the maintenance office.

In addition to avoiding the need to install new wiring, the wireless system had to be designed to work in an electrically noisy environment and meet stringent security requirements, while providing a path for future expansion.
