RTI Releases ESC-2 Ethernet-to-Serial Converter
Remote Technologies Incorporated (RTI) just announced that the company is now shipping its ESC-2 Ethernet-to-serial converter that expands the RTI XP series control by adding two additional bidirectional serial ports over Ethernet.
The ESC-2 works with RTI’s Integration Designer programming software for setup and multiple modules can be utilized for virtually unlimited control of serial devices. Two RJ-45 jacks allow standard Cat5 cabling to be used between the converter and the device being controlled. The ESC-2 is then connected to the local Ethernet network with a standard Cat 5 cable for full two-way control, as if the device were wired directly to the control processor.
The ESC-2 lists for $149. Complete specs are not available because it’s not on the RTI website yet.
