EKI-9778-C0SA820E

EKI-9778-C0SA820E is a new generation of industrial grade communication protocol converter from Advantech. It adopts the advanced embedded technology developed by Advantech. As one of the innovative smart devices, EKI-9778-C0SA820E provides serial communication conversion, virtual port setup, fast data transmission and other excellent functions.

EKI-9778-C0SA820E is mainly used for industries such as manufacturing, logistics, industrial automation, meter reading, medical, public services, etc. It conforms to the EIA, RS-232, RS-422/485, TCIP/UDP protocols and supports five real-time communication modes. The communication distance can reach up to 2km, which fully meets the needs of various control and communication applications.

EKI-9778-C0SA820E is composed of a CPU board, an I/O backplane, various network interface modules, and a system management card. It provides a variety of communication interfaces to meet various communication needs. It can establish communication between the controller and the various devices through the I/O backplane to realize the real-time connection between devices. On-board system management card settings can be configured through discovery software to quickly complete the device installation.

The work principle of EKI-9778-C0SA820E is simple. After the user completes the network interface module configuration and virtual port setting, the host (PC or controller) will process data reception and transmission via a virtual port. Data from the device then enters EKI-9778-C0SA820E via the I/O backplane. The EKI-9778-C0SA820E will convert the received data from different communication protocols into Ethernet protocol according to the requirements of the user for data format and send it to the destination device through network interface module. Vice versa, the Ethernet protocol sent from the destination device will be converted into the host-required data format after being accepted by the EKI-9778-C0SA820E, and then sent to the host via the virtual port.

As a high-performance device of Advantech, EKI-9778-C0SA820E possesses multiple advantages such as protocol conversion, multiple communication modes, network transmission distance and scalability. All these advantages make EKI-9778-C0SA820E an ideal choice for various industrial communication applications.
