I-7188E3D Programmable Ethernet to Serial Converter, RS-232/422/485

The I-7188E3 CR is a programmable device server that brings an RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 serial device onto an Ethernet network. Its built-in COM ports can be presented to a Windows host as standard virtual COM ports using the VxComm driver, or accessed directly over raw TCP, so existing serial software can often be connected without rewriting it.Built around an 80188 CPU at 40 MHz and the MiniOS7 operating system, the unit can run custom Xserver-based applications on the device itself. It also includes four digital inputs that accept wet or dry contacts and four open-collector digital outputs, which can handle up to 30 VDC and 100 mA per the source data.The housing is palm-sized and includes a watchdog timer, reverse polarity protection on the 10 to 30 VDC power input, and a removable terminal block for wiring. The rated operating range is -25 °C to +75 °C, making it suitable for factory, building and home automation installations.ApplicationsFactory automationBuilding automationHome automation

I-7188E3-232 CR is a programmable device server that brings RS-232 and RS-485 serial devices onto an Ethernet network. It provides two RS-232 ports and one RS-485 port, so existing serial equipment can be connected to a network without replacing it.Data can be passed through either a Virtual COM connection, using the VxComm driver on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 SP1, 10, 2012 and 2016, or a raw TCP connection, which makes the unit suitable for custom host software. The built-in MiniOS7 runs the Xserver programming structure, allowing custom Ethernet logic to be developed on the device.The unit also includes 4 digital inputs (wet or dry contact) and 4 open-collector digital outputs rated at 100 mA. Its palm-sized housing has a watchdog timer for harsh environments, reverse polarity protection on the power input, and an operating range of -25 °C to +75 °C.ApplicationsFactory automationBuilding automationHome automation

I-7188E3D-232 CR is a programmable device server that links RS-232 and RS-485 serial equipment to an Ethernet network. It provides two RS-232 ports and one RS-485 port, so engineers can connect existing serial devices to a network without redesigning them.Data can be carried either through Virtual COM, where the built-in COM ports appear as standard COM ports on a Windows PC using the VxComm driver, or over a raw TCP connection for direct socket-based communication. The built-in MiniOS7 operating system and Xserver programming structure allow custom Ethernet applications to be developed on the unit.The unit has four wet/dry digital inputs and four open-collector digital outputs, a status LED display, a watchdog timer and reverse polarity protection on its 10 to 30 VDC supply. Its removable terminal block simplifies wiring, and it operates from -25 °C to +75 °C.ApplicationsFactory automationBuilding automationHome automation

The I-7188E1 CR is a programmable Ethernet device server that brings a single RS-232 serial device onto an Ethernet network. Because the serial side is protocol independent, it suits engineers who need to network an existing RS-232 instrument, controller or terminal without changing the device itself.Serial data can be passed to a PC through Virtual COM, letting existing COM-port software communicate over Ethernet, or exchanged through a raw TCP connection. The built-in MiniOS7 and Xserver programming structure allow custom Ethernet applications to be developed on the unit, and a watchdog timer supports operation in demanding environments.The removable on-board terminal block simplifies wiring of the RS-232 signals (TXD, RXD, RTS, CTS, GND) and the +10 ~ +30 VDC non-regulated supply, which includes reverse polarity protection. The compact enclosure measures 123 mm x 72 mm x 33 mm.ApplicationsFactory AutomationBuilding AutomationHome Automation
