Advantech's EKI-1352 Device Server Receives "Best Product of the Year" Award
(Cincinnati, Ohio) - The Industrial Automation Group of Advantech is honored to receive Control Engineering China's "Best Product of the Year" award in the Communication Device category for the EKI-1352 2-port serial to 802.11b/g WLAN Serial Device Server. Garnering high praise from industry veterans, the EKI-1352 was chosen for offering a quick, simple, and cost-effective way to bring the advantages of remote management and data access to thousands of serial devices in remote monitoring environments such as security systems, factory automation, SCADA, transportation and more.
The EKI-1352 provides end-users with an easy way to add 802.11b/g wireless capabilities to RS-232/422/485 devices and equipment, facilitating real-time access to information. For easy integration with COM-port based Windows(TM) applications, included COM-port redirection software allows virtual COM-port access to remote serial devices, just as if they were onboard COM-ports. With this tool, integration with PC-based systems takes just a few minutes and it's transparent to the host application software and connected equipment.
In addition to Virtual COM-port operation, the EKI-1352 supports direct TCP and UDP access for applications like OPC Servers and HMI systems that support serial encapsulation. For more advanced applications, multi-access functions allow a single RS-232/422/485 serial device to exchange data with multiple remote hosts.
The EKI-1352 is packaged in a compact and thin DIN-rail mount chassis. Ruggedized for demanding industrial applications, the EKI-1352 offers 4,000 VDC Ethernet ESD protection, dual 12 to 48 VDC power inputs to maximize uptime, and power line surge (EFT) protection of 3,000 VDC.
