Industrial Strength Ethernet from IMB Enterprises, Inc.

What We Offer

Articles / Our Offer
Industrial Strength Ethernet is the online store of IMB Enterprises, Inc. [1]. We sell wired and wireless local area network (WLAN) hardware, including serial (RS232, RS422 or RS485) to Ethernet protocol converters, gateways, and bridges. These serial to Ethernet bridge products can be used to provide wireless internet data transfer over WLAN for serial, RS232, RS422 or RS485 devices such as probes, temperature or humidity sensors, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), etc. Applications include but are not limited to:
  • Lean Manufacturing & Factory Automation
  • Remote Control and Remote Access for Manufacturing Equipment
  • Test and Measurement
  • Process Control
  • Laboratory Automation
  • Manufacturing Automation
  • Distributed CNC machining (DNC)
  • Retail Point of Sale, and
  • Access Control and Security
Regardless of whether your application runs over
  • Serial, RS232, or RS422 or RS485
  • Analog or Digital I/O
  • Proprietary bus/talk protocol such as LON (tm), Modbus, Profibus, etc.
We offer you the industrial strength network tools to "Ethernet-enable" the application via wired network or WLAN . Through the use of one of our solutions your application gains access to the wide area broadband Internet network, as well as exponentially better data portability, and other benefits of Ethernet over TCP/IP data communications.

Our products include wired dual RS232, RS422 or RS485 Ethernet converters, wireless WLAN RS232 Ethernet converters (bridges) and fiber optic (single or multi mode) 100BaseFX Ethernet RS232, RS422, RS485 converters.

We also sell machine to machine, M2M data communications hardware, the SimpleComTools (tm) COM1000 [2] Internet Appliance. The COM1000 (tm), can be used, for example, to monitor and control access to a building entry point without the requirement of operator intervention. In this M2M access monitoring and control application, the COM1000 communicates directly with a relay connected to a Digital I/O strip, or an Ethernet enabled security camera, or even a contact closure connected to a 4-20mA Analog I/O strip. In true M2M fashion, the rules based engine manages the remote device as required.

Why Buy from Us:

Our manufacturers, such as Aboundi, Inc. [3], produce high quality network solutions that exemplify the best in wired and wireless WLAN network hardware innovation. For example, Aboundi's ARS1120 WLAN Serial Bridge (TM) [4] provides the following features which are characteristic of the higher end of products available for similar applications:

  • Power over dual RS232, RS422, RS485 ports
  • SNMP Get protocol compatibility
  • WLAN, Wireless broadband Internet data transfer over IEEE 802.11b network protocol
Aboundi's ARS1300 100BaseFX Fiber (single or multi mode) Serial Bridge (TM) [5] provides
  • Ethernet over fiber optic accessibility to serial (RS232/422/485) devices via Ethernet LAN or the wide area network (Internet). This accessibility means that a single ARS1300 can be used in a LAN environment where an Ethernet switch supports ST/SC connectors. The serial device can be connected directly to single or multi mode fiber optic cabling. The device and application are thereby insulated from industrial noise and accessible over substantially longer runs of cable.
Aboundi's AAP2000 WLAN Repeater (tm) [6] provides all of the performance of an Access Point, but also the store and forward capabilities required of a network repeater.

The Aboundi ARS1200 Dual Serial Bridge (tm) [7] includes 2 "any serial protocol" DB9 ports, software to setup virtual communications ports, web page configuration, automatic discovery, and support for SNMP applications. These features contribute to the overall benefits of flexible application, ease of configuration and remote management and system control.

What's the Benefit?

The benefit to commercial customers who utilize process control, manufacturing automation, test and measurement, and other automated solutions is that the products purchased meet the necessary management and data access requirements to delivery utility and high ROI.
