EKI-1500 Series Serial Device Servers

Advantech’s serial devices avoid data loss because of two independent Ethernet ports and MAC addresses

Image of Advantech's EKI-1500 Series Serial Device ServersAdvantech’s EKI-1500 series connects RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial devices such as meters, barcode readers, sensors, and PLC to a TCP/IP network directly. Once connected, devices communicating with the EKI-1500 can send and receive data through a network, extending the COM ports of a PC while adding access over a TCP/IP network. LAN or WAN will allow users to control and monitor series devices on the network.

To avoid data loss and provide a redundant network mechanism, Advantech’s serial devices include two independent Ethernet ports and MAC addresses.

Features
  • Provides 2x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports for LAN redundancy

  • Supports up to 921.6 kbps and any baud rate setting
  • Allows a maximum of five hosts to access one serial port
  • Allows a maximum of 16 hosts to be accessed as TCP client mode
  • Built-in 15 kV ESD protection for all serial signals
  • Provides rich configuration access including Windows utility, Telnet console, and Web Browser
  • Supports 32-bit/64-bit Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10, Windows servers 2003/2008/2012, and Linux automatic RS-485 data flow control
  • Supports surge protection for DC power ports with line-to-line 2 kV and line-to-earth 4 kV for signal ports with 4 kV
