FH Ethernet with Serial Server
RLX-FHES
The RadioLinx Frequency Hopping Ethernet with Serial Device Server contains an embedded serial device server that enables a transparent connection between an Ethernet host and a serial only device connected to the RLX-FHES RS-232 serial port. Virtually any serial protocol is supported including DF1, ASCII, DNP3, and Modbus RTU.
Features and Benefits
Encapsulated serial or Modbus/TCP Ethernet packets are delivered to the RLX-FHES socket where the serial server extracts the serial data stream from the Ethernet packets and outputs it to the RS-232 port. Bi-directional serial communication is supported by encapsulating the RS-232 port input stream into Ethernet packets, then sending them to the host client via the established socket interface.
- Supports up to 1000 addressed devices with 2000 radios and 78 repeaters per network
