The Husky switch product line offers a complete range of robust industrial Ethernet switches from unmanaged to web-smart and fully managed SNMP switches in both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit versions.
Ethernet Direct serial device servers work with about any device with serial connectivity.
The BMS device server family enables serial devices to be connected to IP networks.
Three types of serial interfaces are supported: RS232, RS422 and RS485.
The Ethernet serial device server allows all three types of interface to access a LAN/WAN.
Communication with serial devices can be done without changing existing serial programs by using a virtual COM device driver installed on the host computer, or using a pair of Ethernet serial device servers (also called serial tunnelling).
No extra software is required to connect two serial devices over IP networks.
The BMS-836 can be configured as a TCP client/server or UDP and operates in "direct IP mode", "virtual COM mode" and "paired mode".
Now, users can take advantage with the product's ability to remotely control, monitor, diagnose and troubleshoot equipment over a network.
