Transducers provide an easy-to-use interface
MCR-SL-PT100 temperature transducers offer a simple, convenient and exceptionally cost-effective method of interfacing Pt100 temperature transducers with instruments and control systems.
They enable the simple integration of RS232/485 based terminal devices in 10/100 Base-T(X) networks and allow devices not previously networkable to be connected to the Ethernet.
The server allows RS232/RS485 devices to be connected to Ethernet and point-to-point and multipoint device connections to be achieved over existing Ethernet infrastructure.
Among many applications they allow the use of standard modems in dial-up Ethernet applications.
The modules support all common protocols such as TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, PPP and 3964R.
In this way, system status can be called up from anywhere in the world, visualisation data transmitted, a program or firmware downloaded and remote maintenance executed.
With the COM port redirector - available at no extra charge - application programs from a Windows PC, which exclusively access serial COM ports, can be redirected to the network card.
Simple start-up and quick configuration are accomplished using web-based management and a standard web browser, offering many additional diagnostic functions.
