Overview

The ES-313 is an industrial-grade Ethernet to Serial device server that provides two RS-422/485 serial ports over a standard network connection. It features an IP-30 rated enclosure and supports a wide input voltage range of 5V to 30V DC, making it suitable for harsh factory environments. This device allows legacy serial hardware to be integrated into modern TCP/IP networks without hardware modifications.

Why Choose This Part

The device features a robust IP-30 enclosure and supports a wide temperature range of -10C to +60C for reliable operation in industrial settings. Its dual-port design allows for simultaneous management of two serial buses from a single network drop while consuming only 1.06W typical power.
