Remotely Monitor, Manage and Control Industrial Equipment Over the Net The UDS1100-IAP is a rugged and powerful tool which enables users to connect, manage and control just about any piece of industrial equipment from virtually anywhere over Ethernet or the Internet. This single-port Device Server is a quick, simple and inexpensive way to bring the advantages of real-time or on-demand information access. Standards Based Communications Using an open Ethernet architecture as a standard provides the flexibility for equipment to communicate to virtually any type of industrial device. When used in conjunction with an OPC server, most Windows based HMI, SCADA and PC-based control applications have full access to information in the industrial equipment networked by the UDS1100-IAP. Extending Serial Communications Across the Globe Our approach to network-enabling devices is transparent to your attached equipment and software so you won't need to change the way you work. Using a method called serial tunneling, the UDS1100-IAP encapsulates serial data into packets and transports it over Ethernet. Serial tunneling can be done in multiple ways: Using Lantronix supplied Com Port Redirector™ software, Windows device applications not designed for network communications are re-directed to communicate to devices connected to the UDS1100-IAP. Connecting two UDS1100-IAP Device Servers configured to automatically talk to each other over the network creates virtual serial connections that can extend serial communications across a facility or around the world.
