Device Server in focus:
The possibility of versatile protocol conversion

Industrial device servers are essential components of networks that enable communication between serial devices and Ethernet-based networks. They serve as interface converters and provide versatile protocol conversion capabilities for smooth data transmission and communication. In this paragraph, we take a deep technical look at the outstanding features of these devices.

Protocol conversion for seamless communication:

Industrial device servers bridge the gap between different protocols to ensure smooth data communication. They support a wide range of industry standard protocols such as ASCII, EtherCAT, HTTP, ModbusRTU, ModbusTCP, SNMP, TCP/IP, Telnet and transparent transmissions.

Flexibility in interface selection:

These powerful devices offer versatile interface options, including Ethernet, RS 232, RS 422, RS 485, and combinations such as RS 232/422/485 or RS 232/485, enabling comprehensive integration into a wide variety of network configurations.

Scalable number of serial ports and LAN ports:

The industrial device servers are available in different configurations. Both the number of serial ports and the LAN ports can vary depending on the device design. With a large variation, we enable you to flexibly adapt to the respective application scenario. Filter your product with the help of our product filter and choose the right device, matching your performance requirements.

Special features for advanced connectivity:

In addition to protocol conversion, some models offer special features such as Console Management for remote device control, Redundant Ring for reliable network connectivity, Virtual COM Port for creating virtual COM ports, and web interfaces for easy configuration and management.

Rugged design for demanding environments:

Industrial device servers are designed for use in harsh environments and offer various temperature ranges from -40°C to +75°C. The devices are available in sturdy plastic or metal housings with an IP30 or IP40 protection rating. This makes them resistant to dust and moisture.

Multiple supply voltage options:

The industrial device servers are flexible in terms of supply voltage and offer options of 9V, 12V, 24V, 48V or PoE (Power over Ethernet) to ensure optimal power supply.

Configuration & Management of Device Servers:
Efficient use with the right approach

Industrial device servers are an indispensable part of complex networks that seamlessly connect serial interfaces with modern Ethernet networks. A crucial aspect for their efficient use lies in the precise configuration and seamless management of these devices. In the following overview, we take a detailed look at the configuration and management options of industrial device servers.

Web-based user interface for comprehensive control:

Industrial device servers often offer web-based user interfaces that are designed to be intuitive and user-friendly. Through this interface, the user can customize the configuration and make detailed settings. This includes, for example, the selection of protocols, the definition of data transfer rates, the configuration of serial ports, and the integration of security mechanisms such as password protection and encryption.

Easy setup and management via software tool:

Many industrial device servers come with dedicated configuration and management software tools. These tools allow convenient configuration of multiple devices simultaneously and often provide automatic detection mechanisms for fast commissioning. The software allows fine-tuning of parameters for optimal communication, ensuring high data integrity and reliability.

Console management for remote access and diagnostics:

Another powerful feature is console management, which enables remote access and diagnostics of connected devices. This is especially important in demanding industrial environments. Console management allows system administrators to access remote devices, retrieve diagnostic information, and troubleshoot problematic situations as needed without having to be physically on site.

Protocol-specific configuration for optimal performance:

The configuration of industrial device servers can be protocol-specific to ensure optimal performance in different application scenarios. For example, the setting of ModbusRTU or ModbusTCP parameters can be specific to the requirements of the Modbus protocol to enable smooth data flow.

Active monitoring and troubleshooting:

Industrial device server management includes active monitoring and troubleshooting. The user interface or management software enables real-time monitoring of communication parameters, data flow and connection states. When errors occur, appropriate alerts can be generated to take quick countermeasures.
