The module connects any bender or measuring center devices through your Ethernet network to a bender that normally connects using only standard RS-232 signals.  It gives your bender or measuring center access to a virtual COM port anywhere on the network in your building.  Distance limitations are removed with this protocol.  We have WiFi (wireless) and WIRED TCP/IP models.<br><br>

Some benders require the legacy RS-232 protocol for communications.  The device allows RS-232 signals to be converted into either encyrpted WiFi or WIRED TCP/IP signals.  This overcomes the distance limitations inherent to RS-232 (max of 50 feet). RJ-45 cables transferring ethernet, have a distance limitation of ''over'' 300 feet between switches.  Wireless distance limitations vary with the characteristics of the plant setup. A typical max distance for wireless is 100 to 150 feet.

Modules Add Serial Ports for Benders through NETWORKs

The module connects any bender or measuring center devices through your Ethernet network to a bender that normally connects using only standard RS-232 signals. It gives your bender or measuring center access to a virtual COM port anywhere on the network in your building. Distance limitations are removed with this protocol. We have WiFi (wireless) and WIRED TCP/IP models.

The Eaton Leonard version of the module includes a current loop board that we designed and improved for the Eaton Leonard Current Loop protocol.

Connect VTube-LASER to Eaton Leonard Premier Benders using Current Loop Electronics

The module, equipped with our current loop electronics, can be used to connect the FARO arm with VTube-LASER software to Eaton Leonard benders.

For how VTube-LASER COMMUNICATES with EL benders, see the VTube-LASER to Eaton Leonard Premier Communications Tutorial.

For how VTube handles the date internally, see VTube-LASER Data Handling for Premier, EL2000, and Velog Controls.

Connect to EL Vector Tube Data Centers Using Current Loop Electronics

The module can even be equipped with our version of the Eaton Leonard current loop boards (our own model called the CB-EL1) to allow for 100% compatible Eaton Leonard legacy protocol through the network for connection to an EL Vector Tube Data Center
