Digi One IAP Family - Hardened, Rugged Serial Servers For Extended Temps
Digi One IAP and Digi One IAP Haz serial servers combine reliable serial-to-Ethernet connectivity with protocol conversion and interoperability. Users can IP enable a broad range of serial devices, as well as link two industrial devices. It is ideal for device management and monitoring applications requiring specific industry protocol support as well as harsh environments where exposure to extreme temperatures, volatile liquids and gases is common. The Haz model includes a conformal coated PCB and operating temperature range of -35° C to +74° C.
Serial server functionality built into the Digi One IAP family allows virtually any serial device to be connected to a TCP/IP network. Applications may communicate with the serial device using TCP/UDP or Digi’s patented RealPort® COM port redirector for remote native COM port access. RealPort enables existing applications to communicate, without modification, with serial devices over the Ethernet. By creating a Modbus bridge multiple Modbus/TCP masters can share Modbus serial slaves or Modbus serial Masters can access Modbus/TCP slaves.
The Digi One IAP family supports a variety of serial (DF1, Modbus, ASCII) and Ethernet (ModbusTCP, AB/Ethernet, Ethernet/IP) protocols, allowing users to bridge serial and Ethernet devices, or both. Multi-master access allows multiple masters to communicate with a single slave across protocols. Digi One IAP converts ASCII data from serial devices to Ethernet protocols. An additional serial port can act as a pass-through port, allowing local devices to communicate with a slave unit without disrupting the serial-to-Ethernet connection.
