The ProLinx EtherNet/IP to ASCII Generic Serial Gateway creates a powerful connection between devices on an EtherNet/IP network and ASCII devices. This stand-alone DIN-rail mounted protocol gateway provides a single Ethernet port and up to four ASCII configurable serial ports. The EtherNet/IP protocol driver supports the Explicit Messaging implementation of the protocol. User-configurable as both a Client and a Server, the EtherNet/IP port is a very powerful data transfer tool. The ASCII protocol driver permits the module to interface to many ASCII devices. Each ASCII port on the module is configurable to send and/or receive ASCII strings, each supporting its own individual serial network.
