Evolve with eConnectivity

11 August 2004 News Products & Solutions

As the world becomes more and more wired, it becomes critical to manage and connect devices.

Advantech is a company that offers a comprehensive and cost-effective eConnectivity solution for easy-installation and operation in critical industrial environments. This solution fulfils all requirements from worldwide enterprises that need supervisory control, operator interfaces, and logging of events and alarms via serial communication over Ethernet networks.

* Ethernet data gateways enable RS232/422/485 serial devices to be connected to a host computer over an Ethernet network quickly and cost-effectively. No extra programming effort is required at the host computer, so software development costs can be saved. Ethernet data gateways are especially suitable for remote controlling and monitoring of serial devices via the Ethernet.

* Industrial-grade hubs and switches (Advantech's ADAM-6510/6520/6521) are especially suitable for industrial environments with Ethernet networking needs, such as inventory control at warehouses, assembly lines and production. Use them to expand your industrial network fast and cost-effectively. The rugged industrial design assures reliability and stability.

* Ethernet media converters are designed to convert Ethernet network signals (10/100Base-TX) to fibre network signals (100Base-FX). They transparently convert Ethernet signals to optic signals. Fibre optic communication provides wide bandwidth and secure long-distance transmission without electromagnetic interference.

* Web-enabled communication controllers provide ideal environments to develop applications that handle RS232/485 devices data for Internet. Advantech's web-enabled communication controllers, ADAM-6500 and ADAM-6501, with built-in Windows CE.NET operating system, lets one run new programs in Microsoft embedded VC++. The Windows environment also includes a web server to allow development of web-enabled applications. The result is a powerful solution for industrial automation and control.

* Serial media converters provide conversion between serial networks and other media. They can transparently convert RS232 signals to RS422/485 signals, as well as wireless and fibre-optic signals. The ADAM-4520 transparently converts RS232 signals into RS422 or RS485 signals without changing a PC's hardware or software. The ADAM-4541 can be used as a RS232/422/485 point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connection for transmitting and converting full/half-duplex signals and their equivalents within a fibre-optic environment.
