Alliance SerialConnect provides access to serial devices over a local network, Frame Relay connection, or through any standard router.
Programmers use data queues to exchange data with the serial devices.
Alliance software and Intelligent Instrumentation's hardware are both YK2 compliant. And it hasn't been possible to network these connections for hot backup or remote site requirements. Up to four serial devices attach to each EDAS unit providing a scaleable solution. The EDAS interface unit is reliable, has built-in networking, and retains its configuration in the event of power loss. It's ideal for high availability environments.
