Plug-in IP module for integration with the ADPRO PRO E series detectors, PoE supplied. ADPRO PRO E detectors have RS-485 interfaces which allow for remote maintenance and full alarm management via up to 1000m long field bus connection. The IP Module (IPM) converts this RS-485 bus to Ethernet and makes it available remotely using the IP address of the module. A virtual COM port (VCP) on a PC is used to access the detectors connected to the IPM.
