  • Page 5: Overview

    NuMaker-Server-NUC980 OVERVIEW NuMaker-Server can gather information from up to 8 UART sensors and transfer to cloud server over two on board Ethernet port. It can also transfer information from cloud server by Ethernet to UART devices in opposite direction by applications. This serial server is a very popular IIoT device used in industrial control, which can easily transfer an onsite industrial machine control into a remote cloud factory control.
