The DS1100 is a compact programmable controller targeting cost-sensitive serial-over-IP and serial control applications.

Built around the same T2000 ASIC as the EM500 "MiniMo" module, the DS1100 offers a single-channel RS232 port. Device power can be supplied via its power jack or Pin 9 of the DB9 (serial port) connector. There is an optional Power-over-Ethernet module that can supply power too; use the Add-On option box below to select the PoE module. The DS1100 device comes preloaded with a fully functional serial-over-IP application.

There are three LEDs on the device's front: green and red main status LEDs, and a yellow Ethernet link LED.

Each DS1100 is supplied with plates for mounting on a DIN rail or a wall. The lower picture shows what the plates look like installed on the unit.
