EM1500 Serial-Ethernet Bridge
Model EM1500

The EM1500 Serial-Ethernet Bridge is a device that converts multi-point serial communications to a TCP/IP network. The EM1500 connects to and network enables as many as 4 RS-232 serial devices simultaneously, while also acting as master on a multi-drop RS-485 network. In addition, the EM1500 provides an SPDT relay, 2 digital open collector outputs and 3 digital inputs suitable for interfacing to mechanical switches or logic level circuits.

Success in today's marketplace demands rapid, low-cost access to information. The EM1500 is designed to allow easy setup and monitoring via a "black box" approach. No programming is needed. The tight integration of hardware and software offers unparalleled reliability. Quick configuration over Ethernet, using a web browser or the stand-alone GUI configuration program, is easy and convenient.

The EM1500 interfaces with all types of serial devices: modems, sensors, card readers, bar scanners, printers, etc. Having 2 EM1500s allows the creation of a transparent serial bridge, thereby using some of the more advanced software features, such as packaging and protocol conversions.
