Many devices today continue to use RS232 or RS485 serial communications. Moving data from these devices to Programmable Controllers continues to be a challenge. Fewer and fewer Programmable Controllers directly support serial communications. Often, an expensive add-on card is now required to provide serial communications. Another option is an external gateway. External gateways come with many disadvantages including, separate power wiring, additional connectors, space constraints and pre-defined, awkward communications interfaces; especially for DeviceNet interfacing.

These problems are all solved by the DeviceNet Serial Communication PCB. Designed to support TTL and RS485 communication in a very small form factor package, the DeviceNet Serial PCB is perfect for OEM applications. Easily embedded within an ASCII product, the DeviceNet Serial PCB can quickly and easily make any ASCII product look like a DeviceNet device. And with RTA, Inc. customization options, your product will look to all network tools and Programmable Controllers as your proprietary DeviceNet device.
 
"I have found RTAs knowledge of PLC networks, especially DeviceNet and SDS, to be extremely valuable. Their years of experience allowed them to develop plug-in modules to our specifications more quickly and less costly than an in-house development. Along the way RTA, Inc. provided quality documentation and hardware, well-debugged software and a friendly communicative attitude. We will continue to use RTA, Inc. in the future."
