LAN Ethernet Bridge Module

The LAN Ethernet Bridge provides a secure, isolated connection of physically separate RS485 LAN segments over an Ethernet network for Inner Range systems. The electrical isolation achieved between the LAN segments also eliminates the potential for earth loops.

The LAN Ethernet Bridge is Installer configurable and employs 128-bit AES encryption for secure Ethernet communications. It enrols on the LAN as an RS485 LAN Module allowing status monitoring and reporting.

One or more LAN Ethernet Bridges are installed in remote locations to provide an interface between an Ethernet network and the local RS485 LAN segment. The Ethernet network provides the communication path between the Controller’s on-board Ethernet Port and the LAN Ethernet Bridge. An Ethernet Bridge is not required at the Controller end.
