The Serial-to-Ethernet products discussed in this guidebook,
referred to in the industry as serial device servers,
were first developed by Moxa Technologies in 1994. The
popularity of serial device servers is tied closely to
the prevalence of Ethernet LANs in both business and industrial
settings, and in recent years serial device servers have
become one of the major players in the communications
and industrial automation markets. In fact, although the
marriage of serial with Ethernet was originally one of
convenience, it has quickly becoming a matter of necessity.
Our primary aim in writing this guidebook is to provide
potential users of serial-to-Ethernet products with the
knowledge required to choose the most appropriate product
and operation mode for their particular application. Moxa's
18-year history in the development and marketing of many
successful communications products, including a complete
line of serial device servers, allows us to speak authoritatively
on serial-to-Ethernet concepts. All of Moxa's products
undergo a rigorous regimen of research and testing before
being released to the market, and the knowledge we gain
from this process serves as a solid foundation for educating
the industry about our technology.
Chapter 1: Introduction
The purpose of this Serial-to-Ethernet Guidebook is to provide Product Managers and Sales Personnel working in the communications industry with a general introduction to the terminology and methodology of the serial-to-Ethernet field.
Chapter 2: Serial-to-Ethernet Applications
Serial-to-Ethernet refers to any product or process used in the marriage of the serial and Ethernet interfaces. In general, this is an important field for both business and industry, since millions of legacy serial devices, most without built-in Ethernet ports, are still in common use today. A serial device server allows users to connect legacy serial devices to an Ethernet LAN/WAN, providing many more options for data acquisition, device management, and industrial control than would otherwise be available.
Chapter 3: Case Studies
In this chapter, we examine five examples that illustrate
the implementation of serial device server technology.
Chapter 4: Finding the Right Solution
In this chapter, we discuss how to find the serial device server most appropriate for your application.
Glossary
This chapter gives the definitions of more than 40 terms commonly used in the industrial communications field. |
