MOXA Serial Device Solutions
By Jai Krishna Bearing House – Authorized Dealer of Moxa Inc.
In today’s industrial world, communication between machines is very important. Every factory uses PLCs, CNC machines, sensors, SCADA systems, and other automation equipment. For smooth operation, these devices must communicate properly.
Many industrial machines still use serial communication (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485). But modern computers and networks use Ethernet. To connect old serial devices with modern Ethernet networks, we use MOXA Serial Device Servers.
Jai Krishna Bearing House is proud to be an Authorized Dealer of MOXA Serial Device Servers, providing genuine products, technical support, and fast supply across India.
What is a MOXA Serial Device Server?
A MOXA Serial Device Server is a networking device that connects serial-based equipment to an Ethernet network.
In simple words:
👉 It converts serial communication into Ethernet communication.
This allows you to monitor and control serial devices over LAN, WAN, or even the internet.
