3-Port RS232 RS485 RS422 Internet - LAN Ethernet Converter

AI-7188E3 can serve as an Addressable Ethernet to RS-232/422/485 Converter. Most RS-232 RS-422RS-485 devices don't support device addressing. The AI-7188E3 series can assign unique address to any RS-232/422/485 device installed in the Ethernet network. The host-PC can send a command with device address to the Ethernet network and the destination AI-7188E3 will remove the address field and pass the other fields of the command to its local RS-232/422/485 device The response of this local RS-232/422/485 device will be passed to the host-PC via this destination I-7188E3.

AI-7188E3

3-Port Internet Communication Controller with Digital I/O
A LAN to Serial Device Server for Ethernet to serial applications. The Device features full serial handshake signals and 10/100BaseT network interface.

The AI-7188E3 Internet Communication Controller focuses on communication applications. Used with different embedded firmware programs, the Internet Communication Controller can be used as a Device Server, Addressable Ethernet to RS-232/422/485 Converter, or an Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controller.

Used as a Device Server, AI-7188E3 network enables any device with a serial communication port. By virtue of its independent operating system protocol independence, small size and flexibility. Device Servers are able to meet the demand of virtually any network-enable application.
