PortServer TS MEI Hardened
Serial-to-Ethernet Connectivity
Switch Selectable Expansion for Asynchronous Connectivity
The Digi PortServer TS MEI Hardened is a Switch Selectable Expansion device for Asynchronous Connectivity.
The PortServer® TS MEI Hardened family of serial servers is designed for serial port expansion where environmental hazards demand extended safety features and operating tolerances. Extended operating temperature (-35° C to +74° C), conformal coated circuit board, NEMA TS 2, and Class 1 Div 2 certifications make these rugged serial servers ideal for use in outdoor applications. Digi's patented RealPort® COM port redirector creates a local COM or TTY port on the host computer, allowing existing software applications to work without modification.
The PortServer TS H MEI model is designed for serial-to-Ethernet connectivity in utility plants, pipelines, traffic management facilities, and other remote locations requiring extended operating temperatures.
Designed to meet NEMA TS 2 and other unique requirements in traffic management installations, the PortServer TS Hcc MEI* model is ideal for network-enabling and remotely managing variable message signs, loop detectors, ramp meters, or any RS-232/422/485 serial device. Specialized features include conformal coated PCA for moisture and corrosion protection, a screw terminal power connector for durable and reliable power feed, and extended operating temperature tolerance.
The PortServer TS Haz MEI serial server offers a conformal coated PCA, extended temperature tolerance, and the ability to safely perform in flammable environments (Class 1, Division 2 certified). It is ideal for serial port expansion in factory automation and utility management (gas, electric, and water) applications.
