Using the Genie TS Framework Virtual Serial Port
The Genie TS provides two serial ports for general use. These are available on the 25-pin Micro-D
connector, where one supports RS-232 signals while the second supports RS-485 (see 25-pin
Micro-D type Connector Details). Note that this document does not cover the choice of one serial
standard over the other, which is dependent on the application and user needs.
The Genie TS functions as an Ethernet to serial port bridge only, because the Genie does not
respond to any serial port commands. External serial controlled devices can be connected to the
camera serial ports and benefit from the extended control distance provided by the camera
Ethernet connection. Examples of such devices might include lighting, motors, remote switching,
various sensors, etc. The following figure shows an example of such a setup.
Enable the Virtual Serial Port Driver
The Virtual Serial Port Driver is automatically installed with the Genie TS Framework. Even if the
Genie TS is used only with third part GigE Vision applications, usage of the Genie serial ports
requires that the Framework is installed and enabled by using the
Teledyne DALSA Network
Configuration tool
.
