Merging Ethernet and Serial Technology

From B&B Electronics Manufacturing Co. Inc.
 

 

Emerging Ethernet technology is providing new ways of connecting legacy serial devices to a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN). It does not matter what type of serial interface- RS-232, 422 or 485- the devices in the applications are using; Ethernet Serial Servers allow all three interfaces
