Ethernet Option
The Ethernet Option is a “combo interface” add-on for Wiener chassis, crates, and power supplies that enables remote monitoring and control via standard Ethernet networks.
- Easy integration into standard LANs
- Auto 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- Embedded web server for browser-based control and monitoring
- SNMP v2c interface for full remote access
- Combined interface versions with CAN-bus / RS232 / USB
Product Information
The Ethernet Option allows Wiener crates and power supplies to be controlled and monitored over a LAN. Using standard Ethernet and TCP/IP protocols, the interface provides a web GUI and SNMP access to retrieve real-time information (voltages, currents, temperatures, fan speeds), issue control commands (ON/OFF, reset, fan speed), and integrate into networked monitoring systems. This simplifies remote operation and supervision of experimental setups or distributed instrumentation.
