Modules network-enable serial devices.
Press Release Summary:
Measuring 57 x 40 mm, Series NE-4120S/A Network Enablers consume less than 1.5 W and integrate into serial devices to make them 10/100M Ethernet-ready. By network-enabling serial devices, card reader/SCADA systems and controllers can access and gather real-time data from NE-4120S/A modules. TCP/IP stack supports TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP, and Real COM operation modes. Configuration is done with Windows utility, Web browser, or serial console.
Original Press Release:
Moxa Technologies Launches NE-4120S/A-New Network Enabler (NE) Embedded Modules for Industrial Serial Devices
Moxa's NE-4120S/A Network Enablers offer a complete Ethernet connection solution to network-enable your serial devices. Their compact size-only 57 x 40 mm, or less than half the size of your credit card-allows you to easily integrate NE-4120S/A Network Enablers into your serial device to make the device 10/100M Ethernet-ready. NE-4120S/A's ready-to-go design allows you to get your legacy serial devices Ethernet-ready easily-just add on this module, without any circuit modification, and get your product to market in no time. NE-4120S/A's pin header design makes these embedded network enablers well-suited for any type of Ethernet connector, such as RJ45, RJ11, etc.
NE-4120S/A's industry-proven TCP/IP stack-which supports TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP, and Real COM operation modes-makes it easy for your R&D engineers to network-enable your serial device. There's no need to put extra effort into TCP/IP programming, allowing your engineers to dedicate the majority of their time developing other important features. You also reduce your time to market. By network-enabling your serial devices, card reader/SCADA systems and controllers can access and gather real-time data from NE-4120S/A series Network Enabler modules. This real-time data can be integrated with business systems (POS systems, for example) to create a valuable and competitive business information system. The 10/100M Ethernet auto-sensing interface also lets your application make use of high-speed Internet access when available.
NE-4120S/A products consume less than 1.5W of power, allowing your R&D engineers to virtually ignore the power consumption issue when adapting NE-4120S/A products to your applications. NE-4120S/A's 5V design is also better suited for today's equipment. NE-4120's 4 dedicated GPIO pins provide ample design flexibility, giving you the freedom to develop the features your customers need. Configuration is done with a user-friendly Windows utility, Web browser, or serial console. In addition, a Windows-based NECI (Network Enabler Configuration Interface) Library is available to help you develop your own Windows utilities.
Programmable version meets your customization needs
A C-Programmable version is available for custom applications, such as protocol conversion, front-end data processing, etc. The NE-4120S/A Software Development Kit (SDK) includes a Turbo C compiler and more than 100 API (Application Program Interface) functions for socket command and serial port control. Self explanatory example programs are also included to reduce your software developing time.
Features
o RS-232/422/485 to 10/100M auto-sensing Ethernet embedded device networking
o Compact size (57 x 40 mm) with ready-to-go design
