EDS-P510 Series
7+3G-port Gigabit PoE managed Ethernet switches
The EDS-P510 series includes Gigabit managed redundant Ethernet switches that come standard with 4 10/100BaseT(X) 802.3af (PoE) compliant Ethernet ports and 3 combo Gigabit Ethernet ports. The EDS-P510 switches provide up to 15.4 watts of power per PoE port, and allow power to be supplied to connected devices (such as surveillance cameras, wireless access points, and IP phones) when AC power is not readily available or is cost-prohibitive to provide locally. The EDS-P510 switches are highly versatile, and their SFP can transmit data up to 80 km from the device to the control center with high EMI immunity.

One Gateway That Can Do It All
The term "Fieldbus" refers to a collection of communication protocols that were introduced to replace 4 to 20 mA analog signals. Fieldbus protocols include DF1, PROFIBUS, and Modbus for serial, and EtherNet/IP, PROFINET and Modbus TCP for Ethernet. This paper focuses on DF1 and EtherNet/IP and how to convert between these protocols using a new generation of DF1 and EtherNet/IP communication gateways.

Serial or Ethernet?
Wondering if it is time to move away from serial communications, mainly RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485, which is still used heavily in the industrial market? Now that Ethernet is the most common method for sending and receiving data, it is important to know how this will affect serial devices and serial connectivity. This paper will discuss situations where it makes sense to use Serial and situations where Ethernet would be the better choice.
