1. Introduction
IPEX
PH232Ex1Plus bidirectional communication terminal server/client is a simple solution for connecting serial
devices to a network which results in having 1 RS-232 serial ports over Ethernet network. This converter uses
transparent communicate protocol, so it is not required to understand complex Ethernet TCP/IP protocol, and
no modification in serial programs is needed. It operates as a Real COM, TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP Server and
UDP Client Full-Duplex converter and supports bidirectional connection.
PH232Ex1Plus is designed for industrial usage and is useful for connecting any device with a serial interface to a
computer via Ethernet supported network like LAN, WAN … and can be used in Industrial Automation,
Telecommunications, SCADA Systems, DCS Systems ….
Protection against Surge, ESD and EMI is implemented in its design and there is 3kV isolation between Ethernet
and RS-232 sides.
