The ETH-BIT 10/100MBit-Ethernet-to BITBUS gateway is an IP65 ruggedized surface box for indoor or outdoor use and works as master or slave. It can optionally be remote powered over the Ethernet cable by Power-over-Ethernet -PoE.

 

The TCP/IP-Server follows a BEUG recommendation and allows a move to Ethernet that is transparent for your application: The BAPI-DLL for Windows® that we ship with ETH-BIT is compatible to our DLLs for the PC add-on-boards IPC-BIT900 and the USB-BIT USB-Gateway.
