Digi One IA

The Digi One IA device server easily allows any industrial device with a serial port to be connected to the Ethernet (such as Programmable Logic Controllers, process and quality equipment, motors, drives, bar-code readers, operator displays and other types of manufacturing equipment). The compact design of the Digi One IA delivers cost-effective performance and capability in a rugged DIN Rail mountable enclosure specifically designed for the Industrial Automation market.Part of Digi's broad device server offering, the Digi One IA delivers standard serial-to-Ethernet connectivity and is ideal for serial tunneling applications or where TCP Socket, UDP Socket, or UDP Multicast functionality is needed. The Digi One IA works with software applications using TCP/UDP Sockets allowing a serial device to interoperate with the software applications without the need to install a driver. Serial tunneling allows two previously non-networked and isolated devices to easily communicate information and operate with existing installed software applications on an Ethernet network, instead of a long serial cable.The Digi One IA is easy to install locally or remotely through a variety of IP addressing methods (DHCP, RARP, ARP-Ping) static IP along with an application (included on the installation CD that accompanies the product) that will automatically detect all Digi One IA devices on your network. Also included is a quick-start guide that supports making the network configuration of the product easy and hassle-free.
