Advantech, a leading industrial communication solutions provider, has announced two new Modbus Gateways with built-in Ethernet switches, the EKI-1221D and EKI-1222D. In addition to providing transparent connectivity between Modbus (ASCII, RTU) serial devices and Ethernet based Modbus/TCP equipment, built-in Ethernet switches allow these devices to be daisy chained whilst also supporting auto bypass functionality. These new Modbus Gateways are able to fulfill flexible installation and web browser configuration requirements for remote monitoring applications. It allows auto searching for Modbus slave ID's via a configuration utility.

| In chemical and petrochemical plants with hazardous areas, rigorous security is required to protect operators and maintain equipment. Advantech’s Modbus Gateways are UL Class I, Division 2 certified which is particularly designed for oil & gas locations. Advantech offers flexible cabling and supports Ethernet auto bypass: preventing accidental power failure in the event one of the Modbus Gateway’s unexpectedly shutting down. |

| Proper water treatment is a very important endeavor for all industrial and public enterprises. Water treatment produces organic and mineral sludge from filtration and sedimentation. Therefore, it is important to centralize the measurement of water consumption, collect all the information on the status of the water, and remotely control the water flow level in each node (branch). Advantech’s EKI-1221D/EKI-1222D Modbus Gateway with daisy chain connectivity minimizes cabling. It also supports Ethernet auto-bypass to prevent accidental power failure.
