Hubs & Adapters

SuiteFactory supports a mixture of Multi-Port Adapters and Ethernet Serial Hubs connections to your Machine Tools.  If you have an existing RS232 cable infrastructure and are replacing a section of the network using a mixture of existing MultiPort Adapters and new Ethernet Serial Hubs this configuration may be for you.   

If you don't have machine tools that are being moved and are looking for a more flexible configuration (i.e. Placing Hubs in strategic locations in the shop and then running RS232 cables, etc.) you may want to consider this type of configuration.

Serial Hubs and Multi-Port Adapter configuration

Following is depiction of a system which is comprised of Serial Ethernet Hub and Serial Multi-Port Adapter components.

Note: This view shows computers with MultiPort Adapters, Standard Port and Ethernet Serial Hubs to demonstrate the most general configuration.
