Industrial Automation Market Opportunities
IOLAN Device Servers
Software selectable interfaces: An IOLAN
Device Server offers flexibility with its multiple interface capability providing
a total solution to handle a broad range of EIA-232, EIA-422 and EIA-485
based medical devices. With its software selectable interface, mechanical
tampering in the field is eliminated preventing unplanned downtime on the
plant floor.
15Kv ESD Protection: Industrial strength
15Kv surge protection across all ports is a requirement in the demanding
industrial market place. This ensures continuous and reliable operation of
valuable equipment.
DIN Rail Mounting: Optional DIN Rail mounting
brackets are available for an industrial rack or enclosure.
9-30 VDC Power: The
IOLAN Device Server can be conveniently powered from existing industrial
automation power sources.
Serial Tunnelling: Interconnect industrial
serial based HMI ( Human Machine Interface ) with remote PLC’s ( Programmable
Logic Controllers ) over an IP network using industrial protocols such as
MODBUS.
The bottom line: IOLAN Device Servers
are an ideal solution for industrial automation projects by providing a single
solution for a broad depth of devices supporting EIA 232/422 and 485. This
flexibility along with its unique software selectable interface means lower
TCO versus dip switch based solutions which are susceptible to mechanical
tampering in the field. With 15Kv ESD surge protection, 9-30VDC capability
and serial tunnelling for industrial protocols such as MODBUS, the IOLAN Device Server
is the premier solution for industrial automation applications.
