ADAM-4570 Series User Manual 2
Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
Advantech's ADAM-4570 series of Industrial Serial Device Servers are a
robust, feature-rich, and cost effective way to network-enable equipment
in an industrial automation environment. ADAM-4570 series provide one
or two RS-232/422/485 serial ports, and ADAM-4571L/4570L provide
one or two RS-232 serial ports.
By encapsulating serial data and transporting it over Ethernet, the
ADAM-4570 series allows virtual serial links over Ethernet and IP (TCP/
IP, UDP/IP) networks. After Advantech Serial Device Sever Configura-
tion Utility installation, standard serial operation calls are transparently
redirected to the serial device servers, guaranteeing compatibility with
legacy serial devices and enabling backward compatibility with existing
software.
