The new 400D models also introduce Quatech's IP multicasting mode, which simplifies administration and reduces bandwidth when compared with competing models' implementation.
IP multicasting is a popular choice for simultaneously sending sensor data to multiple monitoring PCs.
"Our customers have been extremely satisfied with the ease of use and performance superiority of our Ethernet device servers", says Steve Runkel, Quatech's President and CEO.
"Building on that success, we've identified and implemented - and will continue to identify and implement - important features that offer our customers tangible benefits".
The power and flexibility of the 400D series is derived from the industry's best processor, a PowerPC from Freescale.
This processor is part of a world-class architecture that offers the lowest latency available anywhere.
As a result, it is now possible to easily network-enable even the most timing-sensitive applications and equipment.
Industrial sensors, CNC machines, PLCs and environmental controllers can operate flawlessly over a network as the 400D series provides the absolute minimum data transfer time possible.
Designed for industrial use, clean DC power to the units is supplied through the high-quality power supply provided, even when the AC on the factory floor is less than perfect.
Quatech also provides strong steel enclosures that are durable yet leave a small footprint.
The new 400D series will be available from November 2004.
List price for the SSE-400D is $295; the DSE-400D is $395.
