Application
General Scope of Application
The Serial Modem is designed for operation in industrial areas and substations.
The Serial Modem enables devices with serial interfaces (RS232, RS485, or FO) to
convert data to the UDP protocol and to transmit and receive data via a TCP/IP
network. This enables devices without dedicated network ports to exchange data via the
Ethernet.
