The EKI-1528I-DR and EKI-1528CI-DR are equipped with two independent Ethernet ports and unique MAC addresses, ensuring a robust and redundant network setup. These devices serve as bridges between RS-232/422/485 serial devices (such as PLCs, meters, sensors, and barcode readers) and IP-based Ethernet LANs.
Their versatile functionality includes:
- COM Port Redirection (Virtual COMport): In this mode, standard serial operations are seamlessly redirected to the servers. This guarantees compatibility with legacy serial devices and allows backward compatibility with existing software.
- TCP Server, TCP Client, and UDP Modes: The EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI support these standard network modes, ensuring compatibility with various network software applications. Whether acting as a server or client, they seamlessly integrate serial devices into the Ethernet network.
- Peer-to-Peer Communication: Serial devices can directly communicate with each other, eliminating the need for an intermediate host PC and simplifying software programming.
In summary, the EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI provide reliable connectivity, flexibility, and seamless integration for serial devices within an Ethernet network environment.
