Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server

1. Introduction

The tDS-700 is a series of Serial-to-Ethernet device servers that are

designed to add Ethernet and Internet connectivity to any RS-232

and RS-422/485 device, and to eliminate the cable length limitation

of legacy serial communications. By using the VxComm

Driver/Utility, the built-in COM Port of the tDS-700 series can be

virtualized to a standard PC COM Port in Windows. Therefore,

users can transparently access or monitor serial devices over the

Internet/Ethernet without the need for software modification.

tDS-700 device servers can be used to create a pair-connection application (as well as serial-bridge

or serial-tunnel), and then route data between two serial devices via TCP/IP. This is useful when

connecting mainframe computers, servers or other serial devices that do not themselves have

Ethernet capability. By virtue of its protocol independence and flexibility, the tDS-700 meets the

demands of virtually any network-enabled application.

Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server

In harsh industrial environments, the tDS-700 series (for i version) also adds 2500 VDC and +/- 4 kV

ESD protection component that diverts the potentially damaging charge away from sensitive circuit

to protects the module and equipment from the sudden and momentary electric current.

To achieve maximum space savings, the tDS-700 is offered in an amazingly small form-factor that

enables it to be easily installed anywhere, even directly attached to a serial device or embedded

into a machine. The tDS-700 features a powerful 32-bit MCU that allows it to efficiently handle

network traffic. The tDS-700 offers true IEEE 802.3af-compliant (classification, Class 1) Power-over-

Ethernet (PoE) functionality using a standard category 5 Ethernet cable that allows it to receive

power from a PoE switch such as the NS-205PSE. If there is no PoE switch available on site, the tDS-

700 can accepts power input from a DC adapter.

1.1 Ethernet Solutions

Nowadays, the Ethernet protocol has become the foremost standard for local area networks.

Connectivity via the Internet is now common in many of the latest applications from home

appliances, to vending machines, to testing equipment, to UPS, etc. An Ethernet network can link

office automation and industrial control networks, access remote systems and share data and

information between machines from multiple vendors, and also provides a cost-effective solution

for industrial control networks.

Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server

1.2 VxComm Technology

In general, writing a TCP/IP program is more difficult than writing a COM Port program. Another

issue is that perhaps the existing the COM Port communication system was built many years ago

and is now outdated.

As a result, a new technology, VxComm was developed to virtualize the COM Ports of the tDS-700

to allow up to 256 COM Ports to be used on a central computer. The VxComm driver saves time

when accessing serial devices through the Ethernet without the need for reprogramming the COM

Port software on the PC.

Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server

The VxComm driver controls all the details of the Ethernet TCP/IP programming technique,

meaning that, with the assistance of tDS-700 and VxComm technology, your COM Port program will

be able to access your serial devices through the Ethernet in the same way as through a COM Port.

Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server

1.3 Web Server Technology

Web server technology enables the tDS-700 to be configured via a standard web browser interface,

e.g. Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Firefox, etc. This means that it is easy to check the

configuration of the tDS-700 via an Ethernet network without needing to install any other software

tools, thereby reducing the learning curve required for maintaining the device.
