Advantech adds 1U rackmount models

The Industrial Automation Group of Advantech has added two new 1U rackmount models to its line of serial device servers. The EKI-1528 and EKI-1526 feature eight and 16 RS-232/422/485 serial ports in a 1U rackmount chassis, which are ideal for high-density remote monitoring, management and control of serial devices over Ethernet and Internet Protocol (IP) networks.

The Industrial Automation Group of 548 Advantech has added two new 1U rackmount models to its line of serial device servers. The EKI-1528 and EKI-1526 feature eight and 16 RS-232/422/485 serial ports in a 1U rackmount chassis, which are ideal for high-density remote monitoring, management and control of serial devices over Ethernet and Internet Protocol (IP) networks.

For easy integration with COM-port-based Windows applications, included COM-port redirection software allows virtual access to remote serial devices, just as if they were onboard COM-ports. Advantech says that with this tool, integration with PC-based systems takes just a few minutes and it is transparent to host application software as well as connected equipment.

In addition to Virtual COM-port operation, the EKI-1528 and EKI-1526 support native TCP/IP and UDP/IP aware applications like OPC servers and HMI systems that support serial encapsulation. Both client and server modes are supported, for applications where serial device initiated or host initiated communications are required.

    Houston Radar releases speedlane for detecting lane, speed and class of vehicles
    Houston Radar has released its low power side-fire radar, SpeedLane. It has been designed with the intention of detecting lane, speed and class of individual vehicles and compute per-lane volume, occupancy, gap, average speed, 85th percentile and headway parameters. The device can be mounted on the side of the road for traffic data collection and works in all weather and lighting conditions. Additionally, it measures all vehicles in eight user defined lanes and all traffic measurements are on per-vehicle

    New Nortech IR200 provides intelligent vehicle loop detection
    Today's traffic systems thrive on data, which is why Nortech Detection is debuting its IR200 intelligent vehicle loop detector at the ITS World Congress. Designed for motorway use, the IR200 collects, stores and reports multi-lane traffic data derived from 32 loops (or 16 lanes in speed measurement mode) at vehicle speeds to 200km/h. The IR200 incorporates incident detection capability implemented at the roadside. Using the TRRL HIOCC algorithm, the equipment monitors traffic occupancy per lane on a seco
