Product Description:
EKI-1524 feature two
independent Ethernet ports and MAC addresses to provide a redundant
networking mechanism to guarantee Ethernet networking reliability. The
EKI-1524 is a network-based, serial device server for connecting four
RS-232/422/485 devices, such as CNCs, PLCs, scales, and
scanners,directly to a TCP/IP network. Once connected through EKI-1524
device server, your serial device will be able to send and receive data
on a network like any other network device. EKI-1524 provide a simple
and cost-effective way to bring the advantages of remote management and
data accessibility to thousand of devices that can not connect to a
network.
EKI-series device server provide various operations: COM
port redirection (Virtual COM port), TCP server Client and UDP mode.
After Advantech redirection software installation, standard serial
operating calls are transparently redirected to the EKI- series device
server, guaranteeing compatibility with legacy serial devices and
enabling backward compatibility with existing software. EKI-1524 also
support serial tunneling, allowing two native serial devices to
communicate over a network.
