iVu Plus Communication Summary of Ethernet and Serial
The iVu Plus communicates with other devices via Ethernet or a UART serial communications port (RS-232). In order to
establish an Ethernet connection to the sensor, the external device must be configured with the correct IP address and TCP
port to communicate. To use the serial communications connection, port settings for baud rate, data bits, parity, and stop
bits must be configured on the iVu Plus to match the settings of the external device.
Communication Channels
The iVu Plus TG supports up to four communications channels. To access the channels, go to Main Menu > System >
Communications.
•
Command Channel—a bi-directional communication protocol that currently supports ASCII and enables other
devices to remotely control the iVu Plus sensor and access sensor results
•
Industrial Ethernet—a bi-directional communication channel that allows the user to control the sensor and access
sensor results using Ethernet/IP, Modbus/TCP, or PCCC protocol
•
Data Export—used to export selected inspection data to a remote device
•
Image Export—used to export inspection images to a remote device
Data export and command channel can be configured for either Ethernet or Serial I/O (but not both); image export is only
available over Ethernet. The table below briefly summarizes valid communication channel configuration options.
