Boxer BMS-1/2/4/836 series industrial device servers

Click2Contact

Boxer BMS-1/2/4/836 series industrial device servers are high-performance serial-to-ethernet gateway devices, designed for applications requiring quick, reliable and seamless integration of existing RS232/422/485 devices to an ethernet network. The series comprises four models - the single-port BMS-136, dual-port BMS-236, 4-port BMS-436 and 8-port BMS-836.

Boxer device servers will operate fault free in temperatures between -10 to 70°C, and provide a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and power supply surges typically found in industrial plant environments.

All models provide a range of versatile operation modes which provide a transparent data channel between serial devices and the TCP/IP network, so that the serial device can be accessed through standard TCP/IP protocols. All models in the series can function as a TCP server, a TCP client or a UDP node on an ethernet network, to fulfil versatile application requirements. In the case of network malfunctions, the devices have the capability to re-establish the TCP connection every 5 seconds.

Each serial port on the device has a unique IP address and a port number for direct-IP mode socket-based communication. Alternatively, serial ports can be mapped as a local COM port on a remote host computer to facilitate traditional serial communication.

The device servers can be accessed via an easy-to-use web interface. Telnet and serial console access is also provided.
