The Ethernet/Serial converter is ideal for connecting RS-232 to any device such as terminals, scales, bar code scanners, instruments, PLC's and other devices directly to computers via Ethernet networks.
These systems communicate over any Ethernet LAN or over the Internet, allowing real-time RS-232 data to be shared with any number of PC's and workstations located virtually anywhere.
Using the Ethernet/Serial Interface, organisations can bring process, manufacturing and test data on-line with corporate information systems, allowing this data to be shared with enterprise-wide resources and applications.
Additionally, device and machine manufacturers may embed these systems to provide their products with Ethernet connectivity.
Serial EDAS utilises a built-in TCP/IP protocol stack, providing an open system that interfaces easily to a variety of host platforms.
Now included with the Serial EDAS is software for a variety of user requirements.
The EDAS COMport Driver software allows serial ports on remote EDAS units to appear to Windows applications as local serial ports on the PC.
For other platforms, the Net Link drivers allow users to develop their own custom interface using TCP/IP.
The new Serial EDAS is a cost-effective way to add serial ports to computers, even when the computer is not PC-based.
Additional EDAS Systems include Analogue and Digital I/O and USB versions.
