Lantronix EDS1100 Secure Device Server, 1 Serial Port (ED1100002-01)

Industrial automation engineers and system integrators use the Lantronix EDS1100 to connect legacy serial equipment—such as PLCs, barcode scanners, or sensors—to Ethernet networks. This single-port device server converts RS-232/422/485 data to TCP/IP, enabling remote monitoring and control in factory floors, utility substations, and building management systems.
