Z-World Announces Easy-To-Configure EM1500 Multi-Point Serial-to-Ethernet Bridge
Davis, Calif., June 7, 2003 - Z-World today announced the release of the EM1500 Serial-Ethernet Bridge, a device that converts multi-point serial communications to a TCP/IP network. The EM1500 connects to and network enables as many as 4 RS-232 serial devices simultaneously, while also acting as master on a multi-drop RS-485 network. In addition, the EM1500 provides an SPDT relay, 2 digital open collector outputs and 3 digital inputs suitable for interfacing to mechanical switches or logic level circuits.
The EM1500 is designed to allow easy setup and monitoring via a "black box" approach. No programming is needed. The tight integration of hardware and software offers unparalleled reliability. Quick configuration over Ethernet, using a web browser or the stand-alone GUI configuration program, is easy and convenient.
The EM1500 interfaces with all types of serial devices:
modems, sensors, card readers, bar scanners, printers, and
other data acquisition/control devices. Having two EM1500s allows the creation of a transparent serial bridge, thereby using some of the more advanced software features, such as packaging and protocol conversions.
The EM1500 is priced at $249 (qty. 1). Setup is minimal, as no programming is required to utilize its features. EM1500 operation can be adjusted using the easy-to-configure GUI application. The EM1500 is packaged in a steel case for rigorous use and is capable of withstanding harsh industrial environments.
A low-cost tool kit is available that contains all the hardware and software tools needed to jumpstart design, including documentation on CD-ROM, user's manual with schematics, multiple communication cables, and AC adapter (US/Canada only).
