Advantech’s EKI-1100 Industrial RISC-based Communication Controller comes with versatile peripherals interfaces, communication capabilities, and storage expandability. The EKI-1100 uses the ultra-low power ARM7 processor or Intel Xcale processor and it is a powerful computing engine to fulfill data compression or protocol conversion requirements. The built-in Flash ROM and SDRAM provide user enough storage to run their specific applications.

The serial device servers enable RS-232/422/485 serial devices to be connected to a host computer over an Ethernet network quickly and cost-effectively. No extra programming effort is required at the host computer, so software development costs can be saved. Serial device servers are especially suitable for remotely controlling and monitoring your serial devices via the Ethernet.

The Modbus Serial Device Server as an interface between Modbus serial devices and computer hosts running Modbus/TCP on Ethernet networks. Fully compliant with Modbus/TCP, the Modbus Serial Device Server offers a convenient solution to connect existing devices or controllers running Modbus serial protocol (Modbus/ASCII or Modbus/RTU) to an Ethernet network.
