How To Enhance Older Automation Equipment
and Legacy Installations with Ethernet

Serial Servers connect virtually any device that has a serial port to a LAN or Intranet network, allowing you to monitor and program devices from a remote office instead of out on the plant floor. Communication can be further extended to the entire Internet.

B&B's technical support staff has written a free guide that explains, in plain English, how serial server technology can be applied in everyday situations. It is called "How To Enhance Older Automation Equipment and Legacy Installations with Ethernet" and it is available free of charge.

This guide describes:

  • How an RS-232 or RS-485 network is extended via Ethernet without devices at either end "knowing" the difference
  • How serial servers can be remotely configured with standard TCP/IP commands
  • Why this process operates independently of network protocols

The guide is Free, all you have to do is fill out the form below and you can download it in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
