Production data, working hours, process and cycle times as well as energy consumption can thus be efficiently recorded and analyzed.

FAMOUS.Base provides you with a cost-effective first base towards industrial processes monitoring and control. FAMOUS.Base can be combined in a modular fashion with any of our hardware products any time.

We also customize integrated solutions to meet your individual requirements.

Benefit from our 20 years of experience in the embedded field!

With our flexible converters upgrades of your machinery and equipment are hardly ever necessary.

According to our motto “Never change a running system” we prefer low-cost connecting to high-cost retrofitting.

Printing Solution Our Printing Solutions enable paperless logging of print and record data. On request, you may also connect a modern printer with a USB interface to a device with RS232 or Centronics interfaces.
Metering.Network Metering.Network helps you to keep your energy consumption under control. Cost-intensive cabling is no longer necessary, because we use the existing power grid for data communication.
I/O Solution - ipEther232.IO Our I/O solutions, ipEther232.IO and USB I/O, prepare analog and digital data fast and efficiently for further processing.
Ethernet Terminal The Ethernet Terminal adapts to its specific environment like a chameleon. Individual programming with an open XML structure makes it highly flexible. You may use one terminal for all kinds of applications. That means your Ethernet-Terminal can still be used under altered operational conditions. Once used as a PDA terminal it can be easily changed to a MDA or TDC terminal.
Embedded PC Linux Box 1 (LB1) Are you an industrial solutions provider? Then why not try our extremely energy-efficient embedded PC’s. The Linux Box 1 (LB1) is a ready-to-run embedded PC within a rugged aluminum casing that uses only 1,35 W at 100% CPU load.

LB1’s logical follow-up LB3 also provides a convincing choice due to its more powerful processor and its integrated digital I/O interfaces.

PPP Gateway - ipEther232.PPP ipEther232.PPP enables you to quickly and easily connect your PPP-enabled network devices with no Ethernet interfaces to your network. The ipEther232.PPP works like a PPP gateway for all serial RS232 devices. In other words, it is an external network adapter for PPP-enabled devices with serial (RS232) ports.
NTP Time Server - ipNTP ipNTP, the NTP Time Server, always gives you the exact time throughout the whole network.

Needless to say, we also customize solutions to suit your own individual hardware requirements.

Devices networked in no time!

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Some time ago (Refer to "Get your PLC’s …) I introduced our Serial-Ethernet Converter as the device to link up your old machines, devices and interfaces to an Ethernet or other network (including the Internet!) for all kinds of control or data acquisition applications.

For all those of you who might have some qualms about the connectivity, installation, or configuration and the time, costs, or expertise that might be involved to do the job, I’ve got good news for you!

Immediately installed – Serial-Ethernet Converters

Are Serial-Ethernet Converters difficult to install? Not in the least! Since most devices are already equipped with RS232 interfaces, Serial-Ethernet Converters offer cost-effective and quick solutions for linking up even older machines and systems with modern networks and computer systems. Ready to run. No complicated or time-consuming driver installations required.

Here’s an example how to network your equipment:

Use a Serial – Ethernet Converter to Connect a Simatic S7 PLC to the Ethernet!

Easy to configure – Serial-Ethernet Converters

But now let us get down to the important details! Here is an example how to install and configure a PLC (e.g. Simatic S7-200, test motor) with a network terminal by interconnecting a Serial-Ethernet Converter (e.g. ipEther232).

This is how easy networking can be – judge for yourself!

Do you still rush to all of your machines, devices, or appliances and back again every time you want to monitor parameters, log processes, or change settings?
What if they don’t work properly – how do you know unless you take another trip back again to find out?

How much time and resources are still being spent on worrying, scheduling, and moving back and forth, sometimes over long distances, to monitor and set equipment?

Just think: with a Serial-Ethernet Converter

you could be doing all these things comfortably from your home or office PC and have all this time to yourself for your leisure or for more creative and productive tasks.

In the meantime being networked has become a global standard and a benchmark of competitiveness. Wherever large stakes are involved, it is an absolute must! And Serial-Ethernet Converters are the easy way to do it!

Costs/Benefits of Serial-Ethernet Converters

Are they expensive? No, not really – Serial-Ethernet Converters are well below the lower price range of normal PCs. And just think of all the time, work, and energy resources you could be saving. Enjoy the competitive edge you’ll gain! Savor the thrill of stepping into the age of intelligently networked environments! Save time and money. Reap the benefits!

Old interfaces – new printing solutions

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Today I would like to introduce another line of our industrial solution products featuring leading edge converter modules for best printing solutions, especially for industrial data logging (MDA, PDA, etc.).

Are you currently looking for spare parts for your conventional log printer and discovering that suppliers are gradually running out of stock because legacy printers are being phased out by customary USB printers? And this in times of increased logging demands and growing market expectations for continuous monitoring?

RS232 to USB Converter

Now, if you are looking for an easy way to make the transition from legacy to USB printing technology, then the ipcas RS232 to USB Converter is certainly the right answer to your problem for a variety of reasons:

  • The RS232 – USB Converter enables you to choose from a wide selection of possible printers and supports all kinds of log and graphics formats in black and white or color.
  • The RS232 – USB Converter easily connects to old and new interfaces, saving you time and costs for refitting!
  • The RS232 – USB Converter is immediately ready to run. No drivers required, saving you time and costs for complicated installations!
  • The RS232 – USB Converter is a cinch to configure. All you have to do is use the provided USB Stick with the configuration software to load it to the converter and PC. No IT expertise required!
  • The RS232 – USB Converter features a dynamic data buffer memory of more than 100 DIN A4 pages for increased data security (Buffer memory capacity can be raised substantially by installing a CompactFlash board into the converter). Therefore, no more data loss in case of device failure (paper jamming, empty cartridges, operation errors, etc.)!
  • The RS232 – USB Converter not only allows you to make use the USB Stick to configure but also to retrieve lost data and, what’s more, to output log data for further processing on your office PC!
  • The RS232 – USB Converter helps you save paper due to its optimized printing process which accumulates data into print lines before it is printed out automatically.
  • Finally, the RS232 – USB Converter provides a LAN 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface, thus making your log printer networkable and enabling network access to print data. So if you choose to get set on using cutting-edge and environmentally-friendly printing technology, why not change over entirely to a paperless logging system, thus saving even more time, costs, and material!

Just think of all the money, time, and work hours you could be saving by converting to USB-equipped technology NOW. The ipcas RS232 USB Converter provides you with the missing link between old technology (interfaces) and state-of-the-art printing and networking technology requirements. Seize the day – get “converted”!
