DNC Hubs
(Ethernet to RS232)

Our ethernet based DNC hubs are nothing like the manual switchboxes everyone used to use. They are sophisticated devices which allow you to place serial ports anywhere your network can reach, while still appearing as local RS232 ports to your computer and applications. This extends the distance you can operate your DNC system and reduces the amount of cable you will need to buy and run.

For even more flexibility, you can use more than one device to increase the number of ports and get the serial ports closer to your CNC's. Whether you place a one-port unit at each CNC, a 2, 4, 8, or 16 port unit in each cell of CNC's, or use a combination of units simply to reduce your cable lengths - these devices can handle your data needs while providing you the flexible topology you desire.

Features:

  • A variety of models gives you plenty of options for how to lay out your shop

  • Some models can be daisy chained so you can have multiple hubs on the same network line, although all units allow the use of multiple when using seperate network lines

  • 1 & 2 port models can even be placed directly inside your CNC for "Ethernet to the CNC" connectivity

  • Any Windows 2000 or later computer on your network can be configured to talk to these hubs. Control the system from a computer hidden in your network closed - or even run your DNC server in another building.

  • Surge suppressed models are available

  • 5 year factory warranty

  • Made in America
