The Benderlink Ethernet Module is used with benders that use the RS-232 protocol for communications. The module also include a standard RJ-45 port for connection through standard LAN cable connection.
Why is it needed?
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.
Which Benders Use It?
Currently the benders that we can support using this module are:
- Crown Unlimited
- Chiyoda
- Keins
- MiiC
- Eaton Leonard (This is the first and only device in the world that allows EL Velog, EL-2000, and EL-Premier computers to communicate wirelessly.) See Benderlink for Eaton Leonard
- Adaptive Motion Control Benders using the Eaton Leonard protocol

Why Don't Other Benders Need This Module?
Many benders now have network capability built-in to the control. For example, the Advanced Tubular CNC Bender software recognizes and uses the SVNET protocol, which is a network protocol that does not need serial ports.
