Description
The Advantech EKI-1526T-VDC-CE is an industrial-grade 16-port RS-232/422/485 serial device server designed to connect legacy serial equipment—such as PLCs, CNC machines, scales, scanners, and industrial controllers—directly to modern TCP/IP Ethernet networks.
Built for mission-critical environments, this model features dual independent Gigabit Ethernet ports with redundant network support, ensuring reliable connectivity and minimizing downtime in industrial automation applications.
The EKI-1526T-VDC-CE supports multiple communication modes including Virtual COM port redirection, TCP, and UDP, and provides flexible configuration options through Windows utilities, web browser management, Telnet console, and serial console access.
With 15kV ESD protection, SNMP network monitoring, and a rugged 1RU rackmount form factor, it is an ideal solution for industrial serial-to-Ethernet integration. Backed by a 5-year Advantech warranty, it delivers long-term dependability for enterprise and factory deployments.
