1-2
Overview
These advanced Serial/Ethernet converters are more rugged than ever before, from the design, casing,
connectors, mounting methods, to the surge protection. Not only has the hardware been upgraded, but more
flexible and user-friendly software has been added. The IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 series deliver easy and
reliable serial-to-Ethernet connectivity for the industrial automation market. The IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485
series is designed to allow any serial device to connect to an Ethernet network. The compact size of the
IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 Serial/Ethernet converters makes them an ideal choice for connecting
RS-232/422/485 serial devices, such as PLCs, sensors, meters, motors, drives, barcode readers, and operator
displays. The IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 Series come with a compact casing and a DIN-Rail mounting kit.
The IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 Serial/Ethernet converters ensure the compatibility of network software that
uses a standard network API (Winsock or BSD Sockets) by providing five modes: TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP,
Pair Connection, Ethernet Modem, and Rtelnet. Thanks to the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 series’ Real COM/TTY
drivers, software that works with COM/TTY ports can be set up to work over a TCP/IP network, without
modifying the serial COM software applications. This excellent feature preserves your software investment and
lets you enjoy the benefits of networking your serial devices instantly.
The IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 Serial/Ethernet converters support automatic IP configuration protocols (DHCP,
BOOTP) and manual configuration via a handy web browser console. Both methods ensure quick and effective
installation. And with the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485’s Windows Utility, installation is very straightforward,
since all system parameters can be stored and then copied to other device servers simultaneously.
