RS-232/422/485 to Ethernet / Wireless Serial Device Servers

The EKI-1511 Series focus on the entry level device server market, providing an economic solution that is designed to connect RS-232 or RS-422/485 serial devices such as PLC, meters, sensors, and barcode readers to an IP-based Ethernet LAN. This allows nearly any device with a serial port to connect and share an Ethernet network, while also providing various operations such as COM port redirection (Virtual COMport), TCP server, TCP client, and UDP mode. With COM port redirection mode, standard serial operation calls are transparently redirected to the servers, guaranteeing compatibility with legacy serial devices and enabling backward-compatibility with existing software. With TCP server, TCP client, and UDP modes, the EKI-1511 Series ensure compatibility in network software using a standard network API. Serial devices can communicate with other devices via peer-to-peer, thus eliminating the need for an intermediate host PC and software programming.

Features:

• Provides COM port redirection (Virtual COM), TCP, and UDP operation modes
• Baud rate: supports up to 230.4 Kbps
• Maximum of five hosts can access one serial port
• Maximum of 16 hosts accessed in TCP client mode
• Built-in 8-kV ESD protection for all serial signals
• Provides multiple configuration configuration methods including Windows utility, Telnet console, and web browser
• Supports 32/64-bit Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10, Windows Server 2003/2008/2012, and Linux

EKI-1521, EKI-1522 and EKI-1524 feature two independent Ethernet ports and MAC addresses to provide a redundant network mechanism to guarantee Ethernet network reliability. EKI-1521, EKI-1522 and EKI-1524 are serial device servers that connect RS-232/422/485 serial devices, such as PLC, meters, sensors, and barcode reader to an IP-based Ethernet LAN. They allow nearly any device with serial ports to connect and share an Ethernet network. EKI-1521, EKI-1522 and EKI-1524 provide various operations: COM port redirection (Virtual COMport), TCP Server, TCP Client and UDP mode. With COM port redirection mode, standard serial operation calls are transparently redirected to the EKI-1521, EKI-1522 and EKI-1524, guaranteeing compatibility with legacy serial devices and enabling backward compatibility with existing software. With TCP server, TCP client, and UDP modes, EKI- 1521, EKI-1522 and EKI-1524 ensure the compatibility of network software that uses a standard network API. Moreover, you can make serial devices communicate with other devices peer-to-peer, without any intermediate host PCs and software programming.

Features:

• Provides 2 x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports for LAN redundancy
• Provides COM port redirection (Virtual COM), TCP and UDP operation modes
• Supports up to 921.6 kbps, and any baud rate setting
• Allows a max. of 5 hosts to access one serial port
• Allows a max. of 16 hosts to be accessed as TCP client mode
• Built-in 15 KV ESD protection for all serial signals
• Provides rich configuration methods including Windows utility, Telnet console, and Web Browser
• Supports 32-bit/64-bit Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10, Windows Server2003/2008/2012/2016, and Linux
• Automatic RS-485 data flow control

Datasheet on EKI-1524I – 4-port RS-232/422/485 Serial Device Server – Wide Temperature(pdf, opens in a new tab)

EKI-1521, EKI-1522 and EKI-1524 feature two independent Ethernet ports and MAC addresses to provide a redundant network mechanism to guarantee Ethernet network reliability. EKI-1521, EKI-1522 and EKI-1524 are serial device servers that connect RS-232/422/485 serial devices, such as PLC, meters, sensors, and barcode reader to an IP-based Ethernet LAN. They allow nearly any device with serial ports to connect and share an Ethernet network. EKI-1521, EKI-1522 and EKI-1524 provide various operations: COM port redirection (Virtual COMport), TCP Server, TCP Client and UDP mode. With COM port redirection mode, standard serial operation calls are transparently redirected to the EKI-1521, EKI-1522 and EKI-1524, guaranteeing compatibility with legacy serial devices and enabling backward compatibility with existing software. With TCP server, TCP client, and UDP modes, EKI-1521, EKI-1522 and EKI-1524 ensure the compatibility of network software that uses a standard network API. Moreover, you can make serial devices communicate with other devices peer-to-peer, without any intermediate host PCs and software programming.

Features:

• Provides 2 x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports for LAN redundancy
• Supports line to line 4 KV, line to ground 8 KV surge protection
• Provides COM port redirection (Virtual COM), TCP and UDP operation modes
• Allows a max. of 5 hosts to access one serial port
• Allows a max. of 16 hosts to be accessed as TCP client mode
• Supports up to 921.6 kbps, and any baud rate setting
• Built-in 15 KV ESD protection for all serial signals
• Provides rich configuration methods including Windows utility, Telnet console, and Web Browser
• Supports 32-bit/64-bit Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1, Windows Server 2003/2008/2012/2016, Windows CE 5.0, and Linux
• Automatic RS-485 data flow control

Datasheet on EKI-EKI-1528N – 8-port RS-232/422/485 Serial Device Server(pdf, opens in a new tab)

The EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI feature two independent Ethernet ports and MAC addresses to provide a redundant network mechanism to guarantee Ethernet network reliability. The EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI are serial device servers that connect RS-232/422/485 serial devices, such as PLC, meters, sensors, and barcode reader to an IP-based Ethernet LAN. They allow nearly any device with serial ports to connect and share an Ethernet network. The EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI provide various operations: COM port redirection (Virtual COMport), TCP Server, TCP Client and UDP mode. With COM port redirection mode, standard serial operation calls are transparently redirected to the EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI, guaranteeing compatibility with legacy serial devices and enabling backward compatibility with existing software. With TCP server, TCP client, and UDP modes, EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI ensure the compatibility of network software that uses a standard network API. Moreover, you can make serial devices communicate with other devices peer-to-peer, without any intermediate host PCs and software programming.

Features:

• Provides 2 x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports for LAN redundancy
• Provides COM port redirection (Virtual COM), TCP and UDP operation modes
• Supports up to 921.6 kbps, and any baud rate setting
• Allows a max. of 5 hosts to access one serial port
• Allows a max. of 16 hosts to be accessed as TCP client mode
• Built-in 15 KV ESD protection for all serial signals
• Provides rich configuration methods including Windows utility, Telnet console, and Web Browser
• Supports 32-bit/64-bit Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1, Windows Server 2003/2008/2012/2016, Windows CE 5.0, and Linux
• Automatic RS-485 data flow control
• Supports line to line 4 KV, line to ground 8 KV surge protection

Datasheet on EKI-1528I-DR – 8-port RS-232/422/485 Serial Device Server (pdf, opens in a new tab)

The EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI feature two independent Ethernet ports and MAC addresses to provide a redundant network mechanism to guarantee Ethernet network reliability. The EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI are serial device servers that connect RS-232/422/485 serial devices, such as PLC, meters, sensors, and barcode reader to an IP-based Ethernet LAN. They allow nearly any device with serial ports to connect and share an Ethernet network. The EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI provide various operations: COM port redirection (Virtual COMport), TCP Server, TCP Client and UDP mode. With COM port redirection mode, standard serial operation calls are transparently redirected to the EKI-1528I and EKI 1528CI, guaranteeing compatibility with legacy serial devices and enabling backward compatibility with existing software. With TCP server, TCP client, and UDP modes, EKI-1528I and EKI-1528CI ensure the compatibility of network software that uses a standard network API. Moreover, you can make serial devices communicate with other devices peer-to-peer, without any intermediate host PCs and software programming.

Features:

• Provides 2 x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports for LAN redundancy
• Provides COM port redirection (Virtual COM), TCP and UDP operation modes
• Supports up to 921.6 kbps, and any baud rate setting
• Allows a max. of 5 hosts to access one serial port
• Allows a max. of 16 hosts to be accessed as TCP client mode
• Built-in 15 KV ESD protection for all serial signals
• Provides rich configuration methods including Windows utility, Telnet console, and Web Browser
• Supports 32-bit/64-bit Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1, Windows Server 2003/2008/2012/2016, Windows CE 5.0, and Linux
• Automatic RS-485 data flow control
• Supports line to line 4 KV, line to ground 8 KV surge protection
