Does anyone have a cheap IOC that can handle 16? 32? 64? - serial ports?
Moxa has a 16 port version with 4 Ethernet ports for $1300. I'm looking to
beat this. Thanks,
Does the IOC actually need to be local to the serial ports? You might find it
cheaper and more flexible to use regular multi-port terminal servers and run
the IOC(s) in a central location. The Asyn port model makes the difference
between local and remote ports just a few lines in the IOC start-up script,
although I realize that there may be other considerations that prevent you
from using this approach.
fwiw:
this is exactly what i'm doing and have been very happy with the
results. the iocs run linux
(ebrick) or rtems (ucdimm) and communicate with the device server
(nport 5610-16). it
runs ~$800 (usd) ...
