RS232 Ethernet dLAN Converter - ipEther232.dLAN

Data communication over the 230V AC electricity mains

ipEther232.dLAN

Serial Devices to Network over Power Grid

The RS232/485 dLAN Converter enables the connection of serial devices to local networks with data communication implemented via 230V AC power lines.

With ipEther232.dLAN, you are as flexible as never before, since it enables you to connect serial (RS232) devices to your Ethernet anywhere in the building via 230V power lines. This allows you to easily bridge distances of up to 200 meters depending on the damping factor.

Frequent relocations of serial devices will no longer be a problem - you simply plug the devolo dLAN adapter into a different socket. No need to lay down additional cables, this saves time and expenses. The electric meter serving as a physical barrier and 56bit encryption ensure data security. With data transmission rates of up to 14 Mbit/s, dLAN is even faster than the current wireless WIFI^TMstandard for home applications.

Application

The RS232-dLAN solution provides both a serial (RS232) and an Ethernet interface allowing you to connect devices to an Ethernet via 230 V power lines. Optionally, you can connect further Ethernet devices using a hub, and all connections can be used independently. Up to 10 dLAN adapters can transmit data simultaneously in a building. You require 2 dLAN adapters to set up an Ethernet connection.

Application
This graphic shows how ipEther232.dLAN can be accessed from the workstation via dLANs and a virtual Com port on the serial interface of a device.

Now you can connect our products to a dLAN!
(Data communication via 230V AC power lines.)

Product	Description
ipEther232	Virtual Com-Port Enables you to address serial interfaces (RS232/RS485) via Ethernet.
ipEther232.Modem	Ethernet Modem All applications and serial devices supporting terminal or modem functions can now also be used via Ethernet.
ipEther232.PPP	PPP Gateway The PPP Ethernet converter enables the transmission of network packets via serial interface to and from the Ethernet.
ipEther232.IO	Datalogger / Eventlogger The Datalogger features either 6 digital inputs or 4 digital inputs and 2 digital outputs. The collected data will be automatically transmitted to the server via Ethernet.
ipNTP	NTP Standalone TimeServer (DCF77/GPS) The NTP server transfers exact time information via Ethernet to time-critical devices for time synchronization.

Parameterizing

The parameterization of ipEther232 is performed locally via Ethernet with a Windows NT4 / 2000 / XP interface. The delivered CD ROM includes the driver set-up program and configuration software enabling fast and easy configuration. Each connected ipEther Converter of identical product type is recognized automatically. The included configuration software makes it just as easy to configure the devolo dLAN converters.
