Product information "Advantech - EKI-1528I-DR"
The EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI have two independent Ethernet ports and MAC addresses to provide a redundant network mechanism to ensure Ethernet network reliability. The EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI are serial device servers that connect RS-232/422/485 serial devices such as PLCs, counters, sensors and barcode readers to an IP-based Ethernet LAN. They allow almost any device with serial ports to connect and share an Ethernet network. The EKI-1528i and EKI-1528CI offer several features: COM port redirection (Virtual COMport), TCP server TCP client and UDP mode. In COM port redirection mode, standard serial operation calls are transparently redirected to the EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI, ensuring compatibility with older serial devices and enabling backward compatibility with existing software. With TCP server, TCP client and UDP modes, the EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI ensure compatibility of network software that uses a standard network API. In addition, you can make serial devices peer-to-peer without intermediate host PCs and software programming.
