Advantech's Cost-effective eConnectivity Solution for Easy-installation and Operation In Critical Industrial Environments

As the world becomes more and more wired, it becomes critical to manage and connect devices. Advantech offers a comprehensive and cost-effective eConnectivity solution for easy-installation and operation in critical industrial environments. This solution fulfills all requirements from worldwide enterprises that need supervisory control, operator interfaces, and logging of events and alarms via serial communication over Ethernet networks.

Advantech’s eConnectivity solution is divided into five parts:
- Industrial-grade hubs and switches
- Ethernet media converters
- Ethernet data gateways
- Web-enabled communication controllers
- Serial media converters


Industrial-grade hubs and switches

The Industrial-grade hubs and switches (ADAM-6510/6520/6521) are especially suitable for industrial environments with Ethernet networking needs, such as semiconductor factories, inventory control at warehouses, assembly lines and production. Use them to expand your industrial network fast and cost-effectively. The rugged industrial-grade design assures reliability and stability.

Ethernet Media Convertors

The Ethernet media converters are designed to convert Ethernet network signals (10/100Base-TX) to fiber network signals (100Base-FX). They transparently convert Ethernet signals into optic signals. Fiber optic communication provides wide bandwidth and secure long-distance transmission without electromagnetic interference.


Ethernet Data Gateways

The Ethernet data gateways enable RS-232/422/485 serial devices to be connected to a host computer over an Ethernet network quickly and cost-effectively. No extra programming effort is required at the host computer, so software development costs can be saved. Ethernet data gateways are especially suitable for remotely controlling and monitoring your serial devices via the Ethernet.

RS-232/422/485 to Ethernet Universal Data Gateway
Universal Serial Device Gateways allow RS-232/422/485 serial devices to connect to Ethernet networks and operate as Ethernet nodes. Through TCP, UDP, IP, Socket or Winsock, Universal Serial Device Gateways can be used for different operating systems ranging from Microsoft Windows to Linux. Moreover, serial devices can use peer-to-peer communication without any intermediate host PCs and software programming to save costs and effort.

Modbus to Ethernet Data Gateway

The ADAM-4572 Modbus gateway serves as an interface between Modbus serial devices and computer hosts running Modbus/TCP on Ethernet networks. Fully compliant with Modbus/TCP, the ADAM-4572 offers a convenient solution to connect existing devices or controllers running Modbus serial protocol (Modbus/ASCII or Modbus/RTU) to an Ethernet network.

The Transparent Ethernet Data Gateway Board
The EDG-4100 is a cost effective network-enabled board module. It enables nearly any device to communicate over the Internet and shared networks, and it allows those devices to be remotely monitored, managed, and controlled. Thus, it is especially suitable for remote management and data accessibility for devices that normally can’t connect to a network. This includes: factory machinery, security systems, heating and ventilation systems, lighting control system and Point-of-Sale devices.


Web-enabled Communication Controllers

The Web-enabled communication controllers provide ideal environments to develop applications that handle RS-232/485 devices/equipment data for Ethernet/Internet. Advantech’s web-enabled communication controllers: ADAM-6500 and ADAM-6501, with built-in Windows CE.NET operating system, let you run new programs in Microsoft embedded VC++. The Windows environment also includes a web server to allow you to develop web-enabled applications. The result is a powerful solution for industrial automation and control.


Serial Media Convertors

The Serial Media Converters provide conversion between serial networks and other media. They can transparently convert RS-232 signals to RS-422/485 signals, as well as wireless and fiber optic signals. The ADAM-4520 transparently converts RS-232 signals into RS-422 or RS-485 signals without changing a PC's hardware or software. The ADAM-4510S enables extension of serial network transmission. The ADAM-4541 can be used as a RS-232/422/485 point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connection for transmitting and converting full/half-duplex signals and their equivalents within a fiber optic environment.
