Description
The Advantech EKI-1526TI-VDC-CE is an industrial-grade 16-port serial device server designed to connect legacy RS-232/422/485 equipment directly to modern Ethernet networks. Built for demanding automation environments, this model supports wide operating temperatures and features a 12–48VDC power input, making it ideal for factories, transportation systems, utilities, and remote industrial deployments.
With dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for LAN redundancy, multiple operation modes (Virtual COM, TCP/UDP, peer-to-peer), and robust ESD protection, the EKI-1526TI-VDC-CE provides reliable serial-to-IP communication for PLCs, CNC systems, sensors, scanners, and other critical serial-based devices.
