Product Overview
A practical path for bringing installed serial equipment into modern industrial data networks.
The IOT9031A integrates a TCP/IP protocol stack to exchange data transparently between Ethernet networks and RS232, RS485 or RS422 serial equipment.
TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Server and UDP Client modes support different network architectures. The legacy source also documents Modbus RTU/TCP bidirectional pass-through and combined use of RS232 with either RS485 or RS422.
