The I-7188EN series is a family of Programmable Device Servers, also known as "Serial-to-Ethernet gateway", that are designed for linking RS-232/422/485 devices to an Ethernet network. The user-friendly VxComm Driver/Utility allows users to easily turn the built-in COM ports of the I-7188EN series into standard COM ports on a computer. By virtue of its protocol independence, a small-core OS and high flexibility, the I-7188EN series is able to meet the demands of every network-enabled application.

The I-7188EN series includes a powerful and reliable Xserver programming structure that allows you to design your robust Ethernet applications in one day. The built-in high-performance MiniOS7 boots the I-7188EN up in just one second and gives you the fastest responses.

The I-7188E5(D)-485 is equipped with 1 RS-232 port and 4 RS-485 ports. The removable on-board terminal block connector is designed for easy and robust wiring in industrial situations.
