Newport Electronics: Connect Any Serial Device to Ethernet
Feb. 3, 2012
The iServer can make an existing serial device into a “node” on an Ethernet network with a unique IP address that’s accessible from any authorized computer on the LAN, WAN, or Internet.
It can also convert serial Modbus to Modbus TCP/IP over Ethernet without writing code. The iServer3G can send notifications by email and has SNMP for remote management. A manufacturing technician can use a handheld computer with Wireless Ethernet connectivity to change settings on a process controller. A facilities manager can monitor electric power over the LAN from anywhere in the facility, or anywhere on the Internet. Comes in three versions: a DIN rail mount for industrial applications, a wall-mount or bench-top model for most commercial and IT applications., and a printed circuit board-level product for embedded OEM applications.
