About this product and manual

Device server

 

The SDSFE31XX-100 Industrial Device Server design provides a DB-9 (RS-232)

 

 

connection over fiber cables, where the connecting device has an RS-232 interface.

 

 

The Device Server enables serial devices, such as CNCs (computer numerical

 

 

controls) and PLCs (programmable logic controllers) to connect instantly to an

 

 

existing Fast Ethernet network. The Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server represents a

 

 

robust solution for device controllers used by MIS personnel.
