May 20, 2009 — DATA-LINC announced the NET620 serial to Ethernet bridge, which allows integration of serial connected devices into Ethernet networks without a complicated network interface. No special PLC configuration is needed to integrate DF1 or ModBus RTU devices into EtherNet/IP or ModBus TCP/IP networks. When used as a terminal server, any serial port redirect software will work. Configuring the NET620 is easy using either the supplied SetLinc utility software or a web browser. For most installations all that is required is to set the IP address and the port speed.
The serial to Ethernet (or Ethernet to serial) NET620 is a simple device that solves a formerly complex and expensive interfacing challenge.
