2 Introduction
2.1 Product Overview
Many industrial and Commercial devices equipped with slow serial communication
ports
—RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422—are limited by transmission distance of 15 m.
Examples of these devices are PLC controllers, card readers, display signs, security controls,
CNC controller, etc. ATOP Technologies has overcome this limit with our new family of
SE5416A Series Serial Device Servers. SE5416A Series is designed to transmit data between
one-or-more serial devices and one-or-more TCP/IP devices through Ethernet or the optional
modem, and hence enhance the accessibility of the serial device through the ubiquitous
TCP/IP based Ethernet.
