Weidmuller Ethernet Converters > New Weidmüller serial and ethernet convertors
Serial and ethernet converters can be used in the related terminal devices for example control systems, sensors, measuring devices, motors, drives, barcode scanners or operating status indicators in current day industrial Ethernet networks.
They therefore give protection to automation components that already exist.
Weidmuellers serial ethernet converters come with one or two serial ports thereby making it simple to incorporate most serial terminals devices in Ethernet structures that already exist. Customers can configure function parameters by a web console/ serial console, Telnet console or windows utility that can apply the serial ports and also the Ethernet network.
Serial interface's support a large range of operation modes such as TCP Servers, TCP client, UDP, Real COM, RFC2217, reverse telnet, pair connection and Ethernet modem which allows for flexibility thereby ensuring compatibility with networks. Another benefit is that by using serial/ Ethernet converters it means that you can configure and operate devices with fieldbus independent configuration remotely by their Ethernet connection.
Customers are then able to employ cascade cable connections which consist of several serial/Ethernet converters to form an Ethernet network structure which allows easy access to components with a serial interface, such as through PCs. The design feature allows customers to lower their cabling expenses due to not needing to connect each device individually to an Ethernet switch.
The relay output integrated in the converter serves as a function for administrators. Related warnings are sent immediately to service technicians by email if any difficulties arise regarding Ethernet connections or non- authorised changes made to the serial signals and power connections therefore making a quick reaction possible in emergency situations.
The alarm function which consists of an integrated buzzer, real time clock and automatic restart function the integrated watchdog timer if a failures occur, it guarantees reliability. The Weidmüller serial / Ethernet converters extended surge voltage protection for the serial connections, the Ethernet ports and power supply make sure Weidmueller’s serial/ Ethernet converters are perfect to be used in tough industrial areas.
Strong screw-type terminal blocks make sure that the power supply and serial connectors reliably connect. Redundant DC power supply inputs (12-48 VDC) and low power usage guarantee safety and reliability.
