EXSYS EX-6164 4-poorts RS-232 serial device server, Ethernet naar serieel, metaal, 10/100 Mbps, virtual COM

Connecting legacy RS-232 equipment to a modern Ethernet network can be a challenge, but the EXSYS EX-6164 solves it by converting Ethernet to four RS-232 serial ports. This device server allows you to control and monitor serial devices such as barcode scanners, PLCs, and industrial machinery over a TCP/IP network, eliminating distance limitations and enabling centralized management.

Who is it for

System integrators, IT administrators, and industrial users who need to network-enable multiple RS-232 devices in applications like factory automation, point-of-sale, and remote monitoring. It is ideal for Windows environments, with virtual COM port drivers for seamless integration.
