EKI-1352 Receives Control Engineering China’s
“Best Product of the Year” Award for Communication Devices
Taipei, Taiwan – December 2009 – Advantech’s 2-port Serial to 802.11b/g WLAN Serial Device Server, EKI-1352, has had the honor to receive the “Best Product of The Year” award in the Communication Device category from Control Engineering magazine, on Nov. 4, 2009. Garnering high praise from industry veterans, EKI-1352 was chosen for offering a quick, simple and cost-effective way to bring the advantages of remote management and data accessibility to thousands of devices that cannot connect to a network, and is especially suitable for remote monitoring environments in security systems, factory automation, SCADA, transportation and more.
EKI-1352 provides end-users with an easy way to add wireless capabilities to wired devices and equipment, facilitating real-time access to information. There is no need to write special drivers for specific operating systems, and users can make serial devices communicate with other devices through peer-to-peer, without any intermediate host PC or software programming. That saves a lot of cost and effort. Moreover, users can actively request data or issue commands from the RS-232/422/485 side or Wireless Ethernet side. This data can be sent bilaterally.
In addition to Virtual COM-port operation, EKI-1352 supports TCP/IP and UDP/IP applications like OPC Servers and HMI systems that support serial encapsulation. EKI-1352 features advanced operating modes, and multi-access functions which allow a single RS-232/422/485 serial device to send or receive data to multiple remote hosts. Meanwhile, the EKI-1352 is packaged in a compact and thin, DIN-rail mount chassis. Ruggedized for demanding industrial applications, these units offer 4,000 VDC Ethernet ESD protection, dual 12 to 48 VDC power inputs to maximize uptime, and power line surge (EFT) protection of 3,000 VDC.
