Vlinx™ VESR424 series Serial Servers connect serial devices (RS-232, RS- 422 or RS-485) to Ethernet networks, allowing the serial device to become a node on the network. Serial ports can be accessed over a LAN/WAN using Direct IP Mode, Virtual COM Port, or Paired Mode connections. VESR424 series Serial Servers feature 10BaseT or 100BaseTX copper network media and several fiber optic media options, depending on the model. Many models feature an additional copper Ethernet pass-through port. These Class 1/Division 2 VESR424 series Serial Servers are built for use in industrial environments with heavy duty metal enclosures that are panel and DIN rail mountable. The product operates from a range of DC power supply voltages and features pluggable terminal block power connectors as well as a locking barrel connector that facilitates redundant power sources.
Fiber Optic Ethernet Ports
Choose a serial server with fiber optic Ethernet ports when the application requires long distance runs or high RFI/EMI noise is present. Many applications require a high level of noise immunity and fiber eliminates this problem between devices. Fiber optic connections far exceed the 100m limitation of standard Ethernet copper ports. Multi-mode fiber can be extended up to 2km distance while single-mode fiber can run as far as 20km.
Ease of Use
Configuration, upgrades and monitoring of the serial server are simple, Easy tasks with Vlinx™ Manager Software. It installs right on your PC giving you access to the serial server via your desktop. Remotely manage the serial server over a LAN or WAN via the build-in web server. This is helpful for off-site troubleshooting and can be done with a simple web browser.
