An industrial telephone modem has an industrial five-port managed Ethernet switch that enables integrators and plant engineers to dial into the plant from remote locations.
These products are ideal for connecting one or more RS232 and RS485 slave devices to Ethernet.
This new capability allows you to pass one user-selected protocol from Ethernet to one or multiple slave devices connected to the serial port and pass the response to these messages back to the master.
With this feature, the user can be assured that the message content will not be altered in any manner.
The entire contents within the IP packet will be delivered as is.
Any reply from the slave device that arrives immediately after the completion of the transmission out of the serial port will be sent back to the sending Ethernet station (master device.) EtherTRAK gateways can be DIN rail or direct panel mounted in harsh industrial environments of -30 to +70C.
