Serial Communication Solutions

Advantech serial communication cards featuring RS232 card, CAN bus card and communication board that needs only one PCI or ISA slot to provide independent serial channels.

Serial communication remains important when integrating legacy controllers, meters and other industrial equipment. For installations requiring communication over longer distances or electrical isolation between locations, converting serial signals to optical transmission may be appropriate. Serial-to-fiber media converters provide this conversion for supported serial interfaces, with the required communication standard and fiber specifications depending on the selected model.
