Introduction
2.1
Overview
The
SE59XX is an industrial
Ethernet serial device server which acts as a gateway for communications between
Ethernet (TCP
/
UDP)
port and RS
-
232
/
RS-422/RS-485 port
.
The information conveyed by the SE59XX model is
transparent to both host computers (Ethernet) and serial devices (RS
-
232/RS-422/RS
-
485).
Data coming from the
Ethernet port is sent to the designated RS
-
232/RS-422/RS
-
485 port, and data received from RS
-
232/RS-422/RS
-
485 port is sent to the Ethernet port, allowing full
-
duplex and bi
-
directional communication
.
In the computer
-
aided
manufacturing or industrial automation areas, field devices can directly connect to an Ethernet network via the
SE59XX model
.
In normal PCs or laptops, a virtual COM port can be created using our vitual COM software to fetch
serial data from SE59XX remotely over Ethernet
.
Note that SE5901 model does not support RS-422 and 4-wired RS-
485.
With the SE59XX model, it is possible to communicate with a remote serial device over the LAN or even over the
Internet, which dramatically increases reachability and scalability
.
Figure 2.1 illustrates an example of multiple devices connected to the Industrial Serial Device Server
.
A PC connects
to the Industrial Serial Device Server via Ethernet interface, and a monitored device reports to Industrial Serial
Device Server
via RS
-
232/RS-422/RS
-
485 interface
.
It is possible to have multiple PCs connected into the same
Industrial Serial Device Server through TCP or UDP transport protocols, as well as multiple monitored devices
connected via RS
-
232/RS-422/RS
-
485 to Industrial Serial Device Server
.
