Translating older and newer protocols, the 1-Port Modbus Hardened Serial Server converts mismatched serial baud rates and settings, enabling the serial Modbus device to become a node on your Ethernet network. Older PLCs can then talk to newer sensors, meters, scales, and other industrial monitoring and automation instruments.
Configuration can be done through a direct serial connection or via the network, so you can improve productivity and cut down on the amount of time required to troubleshoot a serial device on a factory floor or in a remote location. Configure devices, upgrade firmware, and more - all this from the comfort of your office.
A simple-to-install, user-friendly software application enables programming. No time-consuming setup is required. The software also features Modbus messaging priority control and allows management through multiple TCP/IP client sessions. The serial server can be configured for TCP client or server operation.
A built-in traffic monitor provides instant verification of a successfUL® installation, and you can view the serial server's operational status in real-time.
The 1-Port Modbus Hardened Serial Server has a standard DB9 serial port for RS-232 device connections and a removable terminal block for an RS-422 or RS-485 device connection. It also has an autodetecting 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port for the Ethernet network connection.
Either device on either side can be a Modbus master or slave, customizable to your application. A serial master can be configured to control an IP slave, for instance. Also, a serial slave device can be accessed over a LAN or WAN by up to 16 simultaneous Modbus TCP masters.$395.18 -

Communicate easily with an RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial device via your LAN or WAN with the rugged and compact 1-Port Hardened Serial Server from Black Box.
It's just what you need to improve productivity and cut down on the amount of time required to configure or troubleshoot a serial device located on a factory floor or in a remote location.
Eliminate visits to a distant site just to make a minor change to a configuration. You can do all this from the comfort of your office using an Ethernet LAN or WAN connection, or even from home via a standard Web connection.
A simple-to-install, user-friendly Web configuration software application enables programming through a browser connection. No time-consuming setup is required.
Set it up to operate in one of three modes:
- In Direct IP Mode, you use TCP/IP or UDP/IP to communicate directly with the serial device.
- In Virtual COM Mode, you can communicate with the device via your network just as if the device was connected to a physical COM port.
- In Paired Mode, mUL®tiple serial devices can communicate with one another using network tunneling (more than one 1-Port Hardened Serial Server is required).
The Hardened Serial Server has a standard DB9 serial port and a removable terminal block for the RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 device connection, and an autodetecting 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port for a CAT5 connection to your Ethernet network.
Plus, for reliable operation, the serial server offers a heartbeat connection, which detects any TCP communication failures and sends out signals every five seconds until the system is reconnected. Learn More$267.25 -

- Features TCP server/client, UDP, Virtual COM, and tunneling modes.
- Software-selectable RS-232/485/422 serial data communications.
- Ideal for controlling a manufacturing or automation device over a LAN.
- Auto MDI/MDI-X Ethernet port. Auto negotiates, autodetects for 10 or 100 Mbps.
- Rugged, metal case that can be wall or DIN rail mounted (mounts included).
- Firmware can be upgraded over an Ethernet network from a remote PC.

Use your Ethernet network to reliably access a remote RS-232 or RS-422/-485 industrial device from a remote workstation.
The 1-Port 10/100 Device Server gives you a cost-effective gateway for TCP/IP Ethernet and serial signal communications, enabling nearly any serial device to be connected to a new or existing Ethernet network.
It does this by encapsulating serial data and transporting it over Ethernet, communicating full-duplex, and transmitting bidirectional data transparently between the serial port and a network.
Plus, it's easy to configure. You can do this remotely over the Ethernet link using Telnet, a Web browser link, a serial console, or another Windows utility.
Even better, it comes with virtual communications software. Through it, you can use an existing Windows-based application to access a serial device by mapping the virtual COM port to a remote serial server over Ethernet.
In addition, the device server supports TCP server, TCP client, and UDP modes of communication, and serial tunneling, which you can use to send data between two serial devices via the TCP/IP link instead of RS-232, -485, or -422 connections. Link a touchscreen to a distant PLC over the Ethernet network, for instance.Ideal for any manufacturing, process engineering, or automation application, the 1-Port 10/100 Device Server, RS-232/422/485 can also be used to communicate with a bar-code scanner, PLC, electronic Kanban inventory management device, and similar equipment on the factory floor.
