Concept LAN over Ethernet Interface (CLOE) provides a convenient interface for the Concept RS485 LAN to be distributed over standard TCP/IP ethernet networks. Ethernet connectivity allows the Concept LAN to operate over an IP network architecture including 802.3i (10baseT) and 802.3U (100baseT) switching and routing equipment. Wireless communications can also be achieved using a wireless router and Ethernet / 802.11 point to point RF solutions.

The CLOE system supports the TCP/IP protocol with all data encrypted using 128 bit AES encryption. Security is monitored in all RS485 segments of the LAN providing alarms for network outages or module substitution conditions.

• Transmit Concept RS485 LAN over Ethernet Networks
