Ethernet to serial converter

TRIO Datacom have introduced the JS100 Ethernet to Serial converter designed to allow communications over point to point and point to multipoint radio channels with remote devices, eg, RTU or PLC, which have ethernet data ports. Where previously non serial ethernet devices were excluded from a serial (RS232) network the SJ100 allows them to communicate and become part of the network.

The JS100 Ethernet to Serial converter operates as a stand-alone device inserted between the ethernet device or application and the serial RS-232 data port of the radio modem. Ethernet data is compressed and packetised into RS-232 packets which are then fed into the data radio modem for transmission over the radio network.

The JS100 also takes advantage of the MultiStream and ChannelShare features of the TRIO Datacom E and K Series data radios so that a single radio network can support multiple applications using both serial and IP based protocols such as DNP-3, MODBUS, and IEC68570-5.

Easy to install, the JS100 requires minimal configuration other than assigning an IP address for accessing the HTML interface which provides diagnostics and connectivity testing.

When paired with the E-Series or K-Series data radio, the system designer can accommodate both serial (RS-232) and ethernet devices within the same system.
