Advantech EKI-1511X

The EKI-1511X and EKI-1512X are serial device servers which connect RS-422/485 serial devices such as PLC, meters and sensors
to an IP-based Ethernet LAN. They allow nearly any device with serial ports to connect and share an Ethernet network.EKI-1511X
and EKI-1512X provide various operation modes: COM port redirection (Virtual COM port), TCP server, TCP client and UDP Mode
With COM port redirection mode, standard serial operatio calls are transparently redirected to the EKI-1511X and EKI-1512X,
guaranteeing compatibility with legacy serial devices and enabling backward compatibility with existing software. With TCP
server, TCP client and UDP modes, the EKI-1511X and EKI-1512X ensure the compatibility of network software that uses a sta-
ndard network API. Moreover you can make serial devices communicate with other devices peer-to-peer, without any intermediate
host PCs and software programming. With a compact and slim IP30 metal case, EKI-1511X and EKI-1512X can be installed into a
field cabinet easily. Eki-1511X and EKI-1512X provide terminl block connector for RS-422/485 that user can setup the physical
wiring without any manually made connector. And with EMC level 3 protection, EKI-1511X and EKI-1512X can work in harser working
environments than other serial device server.
