The compact 2-port serial hub with versatile RS-232/422/485 support for both industrial and commercial applications
The ESP-2 MI is a compact Multi-Interface, 2-port serial hub that provides versatile support of RS-232/422/485 protocols for industrial/manufacturing environments and commercial applications, including hospitality, medical and security access control operations. Through direct connection with the ESP-2 MI, serial peripherals without LAN ports can be enabled to function as IP-based devices. Using Equinox software driver technology, operating systems can transparently access serial COM ports as if installed within the server locally -- while the server actually remains securely isolated in back-office or remote locations.
The ESP-2 MI operates independent of specific network operating systems and protocols and provides for easy and reliable network access of serial devices, eliminating the cost burdens imposed by extensive cable runs and dedicated computers for applications support. The compact size of the ESP-2 MI enables connectivity to almost any serial device anywhere while satisfying the rigorous environmental demands and unique needs of the industrial/factory automation marketplace.
Benefits & Features:
Serial signaling support for RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 (including 2-wire half duplex and 4-wire full duplex)
RS-485 configurable for RTS or Automatic Data Detection Control (ADDC enables simplified RS-485 half-duplex control for multi-drop applications)
Selectable Connection Methods - Telnet Server, COM Redirection, Raw TCP Client/Server and Serial Tunneling
Browser-based Management - Includes an internal web server which offers secure configuration and management
Convenient ‘single port’ option allows users to hide unused ports in network topology views
Versatile mounting capabilities enable quick deployment in desktop, wall mount and/or DIN-rail environments
Durable enclosure for Industrial Automation applications
Surge protection for each port up to 15,000 volts ESD
Multi-host attachment allows for high availability solutions
Operating system support for Windows 2000/NT/XP, AIX, Linux and SCO OpenServer/UnixWare
Provided with EquiView Plus software including SNMP support and 'built-in' datascope diagnostic functionality
Unit replacement feature allows an existing ESP-2 MI to be replaced with another unit -- without reconfiguration of the appliance or impacting server operation
Multiple input power connection options allow for either a detachable barrel connector or a secure latching connector with screw-type clamp terminals
for power source connection
Applications:
Industrial Automation
Process Control
Back Office
Medical/Healthcare
Retail POS
Hospitality
Security/Access Control
Monitor and manage on a port by port basis serial devices connected to the ESP-2 MI Serial Hub. EquiView Plus is the only SNMP-based network management software that simplifies serial I/O diagnostics and management with its 'built-in' datascope.
