Figure 3 ZLAN9163 Usage Diagram
ZLAN9153 usually is single-used, it can connect with fiber switch, the host
monitoring software can directly access ZLAN9153 IP address to get data.
ZLAN9163 cannot realize this type. ZLAN9153 actually convert RS232/485 data
to TCP format, it’s a serial device server but transmitting in fiber.
1.2 ZLAN9163 Advantages
When in pairs-connection using, users only need to connect two 9163 by
single-mode single-fiber optical fiber line of SC interface, the other two ends
connect to two serial devices so can communicate. The baud rate and
parameters of serial port can be adaptive without any configuration. Note that
one end is ZLAN9163-5 when other end is ZLAN9163-3, the two used in pairs.
Compared with 9153, the 9163 has below advantages:
1) Zero delay transmission: As 9163/5163 using serial hard decoding
technology, the one in transfer is single bit information instead of waiting 8 bit of
one serial port all finishing collection. So that the transmission real-time is very
high. Can be applied to the field of training in rotation with high real-time
demand.
2) The serial port parameters adaptive: users don’t need to care the serial
device parameters such as baud rate, the device can adapt to all kinds of baud
rate, check bits, data bits, stop bits. It’s totally plug and play.
3) Don’t need to configure the network parameters: users don’t need to
configure parameters such as IP address, port and so on. As these parameters is
trivial for users first time using. 9163/5163 can be used just connecting to the
optical fiber without parameters configuration.
2. Function and Features
1) Three forms interface: RS232/RS485/RS422
