NE-4110A

10/100M Ethernet Network Enabler for RS-422/485 Devices

     

Overview
 
 

NE-4110A offers a complete Ethernet connection solution (TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP) to network-enable your serial devices—only 57 x 40 mm, or less than half the size of your credit card—you can easily integrate NE-4110A into your serial device to make the device 10/100M Ethernet-ready.

 


Industrial-proven, built-in TCP/IP stack
 

NE-4110A’s industrial-proven, built-in TCP/IP stack makes it easy for your R&D engineers to network-enable your serial device since they won’t need to put a lot of effort into TCP/IP programming. The 10/100M Ethernet auto-sensing interface lets you enjoy the higher 100M speed when available. In addition, NE-4110A's 4 GPIO pins provide ample design flexibility, giving you the freedom to develop the features your customers need. The NE-4110A 5V design is better suited for today's equipment, and R&D engineers can spend less effort implementing the power circuit.


User-friendly configuration options
 

Configuration is done with a user-friendly Windows utility, Web browser, telnet console, or serial console. In addition, a Windows-based NECI (Network Enabler Configuration Interface) Library is available to help you develop your own Windows utilities.


Shorter time to market
 

The ready to go design of NE-4110A allows you to get your legacy serial device Ethernet-ready easily without modifying the circuit, and get your product to market in no time.


Programmable version meets your customization needs
 

A C-programmable version is also available upon request (please call for availability) for customized applications such as protocol conversion and front-end data processing. The NE-4110A Software Development Kit (SDK) includes a Turbo C compiler and more than 100 Application Program Interface (API) functions for socket command and serial port control, and self-explanatory example programs are available to reduce your software developing time.

An NE-4110T-ST Starter Kit that includes everything you need to develop your application is also available. The Starter Kit includes an evaluation board, SDK, documentation, cables, and accessories.
