Features & Benefits

Bridging the Connectivity Gap

In the hazardous industrial world, existing equipment investments often rely on standard serial interfaces to communicate. Advantech connectivity solutions are designed with features that allow them to operate successfully in challenging environments. These devices help industrial equipment communicate reliably while protecting from damaging and costly powerspikes, surges and transients.Advantech serial and USB protocol devices have been supporting data communications and protecting mission critical applications for more than 30 years. Advantech’s USB devices allow many USB conveniences to be reliably implemented on the factory floor with features such as high data transfer rates, isolation, Ethernet conversion, high retention USB ports and more.ULI series and ADAM-4500 modules are suitable for establishing costeffective industrial networks. ULI serial and USB converters/repeatersare best solution for converting RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 and USB and extending the range of data communication in rugged conditions. Advantech also has complete range of industrial communication cards-PCI/PCIE series that use the RS-232/422/485 and CAN interfaces.With industrial-grade certification and protection, Advantech serial communication cards are designed for various industrial automation applications.
