Ethernet-based systems adoptions grows in industrial production

One way to advance the integration of production networks and IT networks safely is to optimize the supporting hardware put in place to connect legacy and updated systems more effectively. Media converters, RS232 to Ethernet solutions and other key technologies will provide a more secure, optimized foundation to launch further improvements from and ensure the stability of the network.

While optimizing security can take significant further advances, as well as the improvement of the IT network on its own, implementing the right serial to Ethernet converter technology for the production network is a critical step in upgrading for new trends, whether it be automation or remote access to controls. By ensuring the proper technology is in place to support current and future needs, industrial enterprises can begin optimizing their workflows for the future.

Perle's serial to Ethernet converters connect serial based equipment across an Ethernet network. The Perle IOLAN range of Console Servers, Device Servers and Terminal Servers feature built-in support for IPv6 along with a broad range of authentication methods and encryption technologies.
