DeviceMaster®: Integrating Serial Devices into the Ethernet Network

Secure and Reliable Communication for Legacy Equipment

DeviceMaster® Serial Gateways are specialized devices that provide seamless integration of traditional devices with a serial interface (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485) into modern industrial Ethernet networks. They allow for easy connection of legacy equipment, such as barcode scanners, measuring instruments, and RFID read heads, to PLCs and computer systems using standard industrial protocols.

DeviceMaster® Purpose and Benefits

• Network Modernization: DeviceMaster® gateways extend the lifespan of serial equipment by bringing them into the modern Ethernet infrastructure without the need for complete replacement.

• Protocol Flexibility: Support key industrial protocols such as EtherNet/IP, MODBUS TCP, and PROFINET, ensuring compatibility with most control systems.

• High Security Level: Built-in security mechanisms, including SSL keys, SSH management, and SSL serial data stream encryption, protect critical data during network transfer.

• Mounting Versatility: Models are available for DIN rail, panel, and rack mounting, allowing easy integration into any control cabinet.

Key Features of DeviceMaster® Serial Gateways

• Universal Interface Support: Devices work with all major serial standards: RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 in a single unit.

• Variety of Port Density: Models are available with a different number of serial ports for connecting from one to multiple devices.

• Operating Modes: Support various communication modes, such as "RealPort" (creating a virtual COM port on the host computer) or direct TCP/IP link mode.

• Rugged Industrial Design: Engineered for use in harsh industrial environments.
