RTI ESC2-PLUS - pretvarač Ethernet u serijski

Integrators deploying RTI control systems in commercial AV setups often need to bridge legacy RS-232 devices to the IP network. The RTI ESC2-PLUS solves this by converting Ethernet to two bidirectional RS-232 serial ports, enabling seamless control of projectors, switchers, and other serial-controlled equipment over TCP/IP. Its compact metal housing and included 12V DC power supply make it a reliable choice for equipment racks and credenzas.

Key specifications

• Two RS-232 serial ports (DB9 male) with baud rates up to 115.2 kbps
• One 10/100Base-T Ethernet port (RJ-45) for network connectivity
• Supports TCP/IP protocol for integration with RTI control processors
• External 12V DC, 0.5A power supply included
• LED indicators for power and link/activity status
• Durable metal enclosure, surface-mountable
• Operating temperature: 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F)
• Operating humidity: 10% to 90% non-condensing
• Configured via RTI Integration Designer software

Why choose it

The ESC2-PLUS offers a straightforward path to modernize existing serial infrastructure without replacing equipment. Its dual ports allow control of two independent RS-232 devices from a single network point, reducing cabling and simplifying system architecture. The metal housing ensures durability in professional installations, while the included power supply and clear LED status indicators simplify setup and troubleshooting.

Ideal use cases

• Integrating legacy AV equipment into RTI-based control systems
• Extending serial control over IP in large residential or commercial projects
• Connecting RS-232 devices such as matrix switchers, lighting controllers, or HVAC systems to a network
• Centralizing control of multiple serial devices in a rack environment

Good to know

The ESC2-PLUS is designed specifically for use with RTI control systems and requires RTI Integration Designer software for configuration. It is not a standalone protocol converter for general-purpose use. The unit supports bi-directional communication on both ports, and the maximum baud rate of 115200 bps covers most RS-232 devices. The package includes the converter, external power supply, and quick installation guide.
