A new range of wireless convertors are built for industrial applications, with tough metal DIN rail mount cases, wide range DC or AC power and 0 to 60C operating temperature.

Imagine the scenario: you've just repaved the parking lot; now they want to move a production line to that building on the other side And of course those machines need to share data with your production control office

Will you have to tear up that nice new paving, plus spend a bundle for trenching and cabling?.

One solution is the new Vlinx wireless serial servers.

"Save the high cost of cabling, and your new pavement, by wirelessly connecting those machines' serial ports to your Ethernet LAN".

"The advanced 802.11/g technology we use in our new ESR wireless serial servers can easily carry data signals up to 100m".

"You can connect up to four machines with serial ports to one transceiver and run at data speeds up to 54Mbit/s".

"They'll handle RS232, 422 and 485 serial devices", says Mike Fahrion, Marketing Director for B and B Electronics.

The new wireless convertors are built for industrial applications, with tough metal DIN rail mount cases, wide range DC or AC power and 0 to 60C operating temperature.

An external antenna connector allows optional antennas for greater range.

Pricing starts at under $400 - and you can't tear up and patch much paving and string much cable for that.
