Deliver Data from an Ethernet/IP Adapter Device to an ASCII Based System or Controller
The 460ECA moves data between up to 32 EtherNet/IP Adapter devices and Serial ASCII. Its a great tool to implement EtherNet/IP devices into your PC or embedded applications that support raw ASCII data.
How Do I Use 460ECA-N34 in My Application?
Up to 494 bytes of data can be mapped to and from an EtherNet/IP Adapter device. The data segments can be converted to ASCII and concatenated into a string we deliver to your ASCII controller or logger. If you need to command the Ethernet/IP devices, an incoming ASCII string can be parsed and each segment can be directed to user defined IO data location.
Need to scale your data or manipulate it with other math functions? The 460ECA allows you to add scaling to any data, apply simple math operations, add alarming and control the request speeds of your Adapter devices.
Why Use Real Time Automation As a Gateway Supplier?
While there are certainly other companies offering protocol gateways, there is no one who provides the level of support and service that you receive from RTA.
When you call, a live person answers the phone. When you talk with sales, you will get honest answers and recommendations. When you get support, it is from an engineer who had a hand in the product’s development, and support doesn’t require a ticket or 24-hour wait.

What our Customers are Saying
“I challenged a customer to get it working by the time I got back from his break room with a Coke and he indeed had it working when I got back. He then said, "It’s worth twice the price!"”
Eric P. / Kendall Electric
“Everything seems to be working as we imagined. Thanks for the great response time. I did not see any way to save the configuration other than screen shots, but the configuration did not get lost in the update. Thanks again, and you were a pleasure to work with.”
Kevin L. / Extol, Inc.
