Introduction

The AI-7188X, Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controller, focuses in Embedded Control applications while theAI-7188N, Internet Communication Controller, focuses in communication applications. According to different embedded firmware and application program, the Internet Communication Controller can be used as Device Server or Addressable Ethernet to RS-232/485/422 Converter or Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controller. The user should refer to comparison table to choose optimal product. Now we offer wide range Internet Communication Controllers, such as AI-71881 / E2 /E3 /E4 / E5 / E8. Except the RTC circuitry, the basic hardware ofAI-7188N is similar toAI-7188X. Since there are too many configurations for AI-7188N series product, OEM or ODM version is welcomed.

Can be used as Addressable Ethernet to RS-232/485/422 Converter

Most RS-232/485/422 devices do not support device address. The AI-7188N series can assign a unique address to any RS-232 device installed in the Ethernet network. Host-PC can send command with device address to Ethernet network, the destination AI-7188N will remove the address field & pass the other fields of command to its local RS-232 device. The response of this local RS-232 device will be passed to host-PC via this destinationAI-7188N.

Can be used as Ethernet to RS-232/485/422 Device Server

The Device Server is an appliance that network enables any device with a serial communication port. By virtue

of its independent operating system, protocol independence, small size and flexibility, Device servers are able to meet the demand of virtually any network-enable application. Most devices do not have network ports. Our Internet Communication Controllers allow those devices to become connected to the network.

Can be used as Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controller

Except the Real Time Clock, the hardware and software ofAI-7188N is similar to AI-7188X. The user can use well-developed libraries and demo programs to implement an Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controller.
