ESR series Ethernet/serial servers are built for use in tough industrial environments.

ESR series Ethernet/serial servers are built for use in tough industrial environments.

The rugged IP30 metal cases are DIN rail mountable.

They operate on a wide range of DC or AC voltage and support redundant DC power.

Wide range operating temperatures are -10 to +80C.

Units come with from one to four ports and each port is software selectable for RS232, RS422 or RS485, and half or full duplex.

Vlinx network manager software is included at no extra charge and puts a whole shop network onto a desktop.

It shows LAN traffic and the status of all connected hardware.

Users can configure devices and upgrade firmware from their desks.

Another footstep saving feature is Heartbeat Connection.

It senses any loss of communication and triggers the server to try to reconnect every five seconds until a connection is regained.

Without this feature, a device that loses its connection will be down until someone goes out there to fix the problem.

Pricing is about $200 for a single port Ethernet serial server to $500 for the four port version.
