|
|
The
eNET range of Ethernet to Serial convertes are a simple way of
connecting any serial device, whether RS232 or RS485 to a Ethernet
network. They feature a simple setup procedure, ease of operation and
automatic network recovery. Supplied with Programming examples and
Virtual Serial Port software, to seamlessly add serial ports to your
Network. The eNET-432 has four RS232 ports and two RS485 ports.

The
eNET-432 is a 4-port Serial to Ethernet converter with 2 x RS232
port and 2 x RS232/RS485 ports (total of 4 ports) . It can
network-enable your serial devices, such as weigh scales, PLCs, Data
acquisition systems, point of sale, bar code scanners, access control
systems, gas meters, printers - anything!
Connect
it to your network via a standard RJ45 connector, set-up its' IP
address and TCP port number and you are away. With the supplied
Virtual Com port software you can simply communicate with your serial
device as if it were connected to the back of your PC. Programmers
can communicate directly with the eCOV-100 using standard TCP/IP protocols.

A
pair of eNET-432's
can be set up in Client-Server mode where they will send RS232 data
between each other without any PC intervention.

Software |
|
|
All
converters are supplied with eCOV.exe, a simple tool to detect and
configure the installed e-COV Ethernet Converter. eCOV.exe allows you
to set the IP address and TCP/IP port to suit your Network.

Users
can then use Internet Explorer or other Internet browsers to
configure the advanced settings of e-COV hardware such as Baud rate,
socket port, serial I/O and etc.

Also
included is DeviceComm Manager. DeviceComm Manager is a COM port
redirection software application for Win NT, 2000 and XP PC
platforms. Its function is to re-direct customer application data
destined for a local serial (COM) port on a PC. Rather than going out
the local port, the data is transmitted across the Ethernet network
using TCP/IP. The eNET-432
attached to the network receives the data and presents it on its
serial port. Conversely, data into the serial port of the eNET-432 is
sent back to the customer application via the network to the
DeviceComm Manager. The DeviceComm Manager then presents the data to
the customer application as if it were from a local serial COM port.

One
of the main objectives of the DeviceComm Manager software is to
eliminate the need for a customer to modify his/her application. If
the application knows how to connect to a local serial port, it can
by default talk to a remote serial port on a device server using the
DeviceComm Manager software. No understanding of how to develop
networking software is required.
For
programmers, the eNET-432 is supplied with simple VB, C++ and Delphi examples. |
