ICP DAS Data Communication

The I-7188EX, Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controller, focuses in Embedded Control applications while the I-7188E series, Internet Communication Controllers, focus on communication applications. According to different embedded firmware and application programs, the Internet Communication Controllers can be used as Device Servers, Addressable Ethernet to RS-232/485/422 Converters, or Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controllers. The user should refer to the comparison table to choose their optimal product. We offer a wide range of Internet Communication Controllers, such as I-7188E1 / E2 /E3 /E4 / E5 / E8. Except the RTC circuitry, the basic hardware of I-7188E series is similar to the I-7188EX. Since there are too many configurations for the I-7188E series product, OEM or ODM version is welcome. Can be used as Addressable Ethernet to RS-232/485/422 Converter.

Most RS-232/485/422 devices don't support device address. The I-7188E series can assign a unique address to any RS-232 device installed in the Ethernet network. Host-PC can send command with device address to Ethernet network, the destination I-7188E series will remove the address field & pass the other fields of command to its local RS-232 device. The response of this local RS-232 device will be passed to host-PC via this destination I-7188E series.

Can be used as Ethernet to RS-232/485/422 Device Server. The Device Server is an appliance that network enables any device with a serial communication port. By virtue of its independent operating system, protocol independence, small size and flexibility, Device servers are able to meet the demand of virtually any network-enabled application. Most devices don't have network ports. Our Internet Communication Controllers allow those devices to become connected to the network.

Can be used as Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controller. Except for the Real Time Clock, the hardware and software of I-7188E series is similar to I-7188EX. The user can use well-developed libraries and demo programs to implement an Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controller.

The ICP DAS I-7188 ethernet controller offers the ultimate in modern ethernet-based control! The I-7188EN series offer users a multitude of connectivity and networking options, in a compact and robust embedded control format.
