Serial to Ethernet Converter by Radix Electrosystems Private Limited

The new Serial To Ethernet Converter DCC201 from Radix connects any Serial Device (RS232, RS485) to an Ethernet network in minutes, including Serial Modbus to Modbus TCP/IP over Ethernet.

DCC201 is an industrial grade converter designed for use in harsh industrial environments. It will work in the presence of electrical ‘noise’ as well as in high temperature and humidity.
The DCC201 uses one of the most powerful and fast microprocessors available for such products. DCC201 accepts a dynamically assigned IP address from a DHCP server on your network. This DHCP client capability makes this Serial To Ethernet Converter very simple and easy to use on any nearly any Ethernet network.
The DCC201 Serial To Ethernet Converter can be used to make any serial device into a node on an Ethernet network. It will have a unique IP address that allows it to be accessed from any authorized computer on the LAN, WAN or Ethernet.
The Serial To Ethernet Converter DCC201 converts the serial data into standard TCP/IP packets that can travel over any Ethernet LAN and the Internet.
DCC201 is compatible with a wide variety of industrial as well as commercial serial devices. These include : vending machines, time clocks, security alarms, telecommunications equipment, cash registers, card-key access controllers and bar-code readers; as also PID Temperature Controllers, Data loggers, Flow Indicators / Totalizers, PLCs, Humidity Controllers, Weighing Instruments, Energy Meters and other Process Measurement and Control instrumentation.

DCC201 also finds wide usage in SCADA systems, Data Acquisition Systems, Control Panels, Energy Monitoring & Power Station Load Management and many more applications.
DCC201 is compatible with wireless Ethernet. Where cabling is not possible, DCC201 can be connected to a Wireless Ethernet Access Point, providing simple & economical wireless connectivity for serial devices.

Applications using the DCC201 Serial To Ethernet Converter
An operator can monitor the functioning of various electrical loads throughout a manufacturing plant on a SCADA software collating the data in real time and optimising maximum demand, identifying unusual consumption and so on

A payroll clerk at headquarters (or anywhere in the world) can collect time attendance data from plants all over the country

An engineer sitting in a centralised control room can monitor as well as control process parameters like temperature, pressure, flow and level of a manufacturing plant located remotely, using a SCADA software

Radix also provides an OEM PCB version of the Serial To Ethernet Converter, DCC203, powered by a 10 to 50 V DC / 100 mA supply. OEMs can incorporate this into an existing product with a serial interface, thereby adding Ethernet/Internet connectivity. Radix can also design a PCB to match the customer’s space/mechanical requirements.

For private labelling of DCC201 as well as the OEM version DCC203, the web-based configuration utility will also be customised to reflect the name and logo of the customer. Contact Radix for OEM and private labelling requirements.
