Digi One IA Overview
The Digi One IA device server easily enables any industrial
device with a serial port to connect to the Ethernet. These
devices include Programmable Logic Controllers, process
and quality equipment, motors, drives, bar-code readers,
operator displays, and other types of manufacturing
equipment.
The Digi One IA delivers cost-effective performance and
capability in a rugged DIN Rail mountable enclosure
specifically designed for the Industrial Automation market.
