1.2 Description
This iServer board can be purchased as a stand alone unit, or as an option
for an iLD monitor/controller (Embedded Ethernet iServer) with a RS485
communication port interface. Some iLD Big Display monitors/controllers
do not utilize RS485 communications. In such models, the RS485
instructions do not apply.
The Embedded Ethernet Server is designed to connect industrial devices with serial
interfaces to the Ethernet network using the TCP/IP protocol. It contains an Ethernet
Server and RS-485/422 interfaces.
The standard features include:
• Use standard Web Browser, TCP connection, HTTPGET DOS program or Telnet
Simulation for network connectivity.
• Install via RS-485/422 serial port connection.
• Transfer data from RS-485/422 serial interface to TCP/IP using built-in socket server.
• Use a standard home page or customize web page using special applets, which are
available on our Web site.
The following example illustrates how you can hookup the devices with serial interface
on the net using the Ethernet Server:
