The FC-24ETH is a high-performance, easy-to-use, bidirectional interface system for controlling RS-232 and RS-485 controllable machines via the Ethernet. This Ethernet to serial controller bridges the gap between Ethernet infrastructures and serial communication devices by offering bidirectional Ethernet to serial conversion. The FC-24ETH allows four RS-232 (or one RS-485 and three RS-232) controllable devices to be controlled via an Ethernet or LAN connection.
